Thank you Mark. I apologize for the format of the docker-compose all being
scrambled in my previous email, I've attached it in a file hopefully it's more
readable.
So if I understand you correctly, in order for my container to be able to
inherit the contents of the host's /opt/guacamole-home directory, I should have
a volume. So if I take those lines out where the volume gets referenced, and
just define the environment variable, it won't work. Did I understand you
correctly?
Thank you

I am not a docker compose user and I'm finding your yaml very hard to read
in the email, but simply put, the behaviour of the docker container is:
- If GUACAMOLE_HOME is set when the container starts, then treat that
folder as the start of the real guacamole home, copying the contents
across. Add to it any requirements from other options (e.g. install the
mysql extension and add mysql parameters to any existing
guacamole.properties).
- If GUACAMOLE_HOME is not set, then just create a guacamole home from
scratch copying in any required extensions.
If your template guacamole home directory is on the docker host, then it
must be exposed to the container as a volume, otherwise the corresponding
folder inside the container will not exist or will be empty and nothing
will be copied across.
Is that clear? Does it answer your question?
Regards,
Mark.
