----------------------------------------------------------
So, below you can see that I easily start a guacd container using the
65534:65534 user.
I then try to do the same with the guacamole container, but it fails.
I then start it without the docker _-u_ option, and it flawlessly starts, but
then the _java_ process runs as root user.
Feel free if you need more test / info to try to sort this out.
Thank you Nick for your support (y)

> Guacamole/Guacd Docker Process Privilege Drop
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-890
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacamole-docker
> Reporter: Anthony Boccia
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: docker, security
>
> 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
