Alessandro, I try to help, I remember facing a similar issue with other “dockerized” software
The user running guacd in your case is “daemon” which has a defined uid in the OS inside the container. You should make the shared guacd volume(s) writable to the same UID in host OS. E.G. in guacamole 1.4.0 the user in the container running guacd was “guacd” with UID 1000, and I made the writable “drive” and “record” mapped volumes owned by UID 1000 in the host OS, that corresponds to a existing user in my server (BTW is my user). Maybe there is a better way, because the UID 1000 could be taken by another account that you don’t want to give access to those directories. Regards.

[Unit] Description=Guacamole Server Documentation=man:guacd(8) After=network.target [Service] User=daemon ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/guacd -f Restart=on-abnormal [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target and if yes, how could I fix it? Shall I use a user w/out privileged account to run guacd? And how to tell to systemd to use that account? I just simple change the "User=daemon" with someting like "User=myuser"?

Here's the culprit: Feb 21 11:09:19 hcl guacd[57447]: FreeRDP initialization may fail: The current user's home directory ("/usr/sbin") is not writable, but FreeRDP generally requires a writable home directory for storage of configuration files and certificates. I've to check what user is running guacd ATM and why it's changed from what was before upgrade. Still diggin into that.

Here from catalina.out: What do you see in the guacd logs? connection fail w/out any other messages; those connections work before upgrading; I have loaded some extension: * MySQL * LDAP * Branding * History I've noticed that if I load also vault all kind of connections fail (RDP and SSH, I have only this type in my environment); I have not try yet to unload History (this and vault are the new I have now, the others worked also before upgrading), could it be the coulprit? If you have not configured that vault support, yes - there would be errors to that effect in your Guacamole (Tomcat) logs. - Mike
