Jotam commented on GUACAMOLE-890:
---------------------------------
Thank you Nick for your feedback.
Server processes are usually ment to be run as non-root user, so I think this
report is rather important.
Perhaps it's a minor thing which prevents the guacamole container from starting
using a non-root user ?
In its startup script perhaps ? Some permission issue ?
If so tiny / non-impacting thing, perhaps we could think about it as a
security improvement for 1.1.0 ?
Thank you again for your support & understanding !

> 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
