Jotam commented on GUACAMOLE-890:
---------------------------------
You're right, we can easily choose a non-root user for the _guacd_ container,
through the compose file, or using _-u_ option of the _docker run_ command.
Unfortunately, this does not work for the guacamole container... We then have
one of the 2 components running as root, which is not really a good thing...
Could we then have a look at this security issue please ?
Would be nice to have this fixed for the 1.1.0 release.
Many thanks !

> Hello,
> I noticed after deploying Guacamole in docker that the processes all run as
> the root user. Are there any plans to add support for specifying a user for
> the processes to drop privs to and run as instead of root? I am currently
> doing this rebuilding the containers for guacamole and guacd adding in my own
> user and using docker compose to exec all processes triggered within the
> container as that user. I feel like the option to specify this should be done
> upstream.
> Thank You
