Hi Nick,

Thanks for the extensive feedback. For the session recording viewing extension 
I indeed naively thought that using the environment variable 
RECORDING_SEARCH_PATH would perhaps implicitly import the extension as well but 
this did not happen.

As for the permissions part I still haven’t figured it out but I’m sure I’ll 
get there as I’m relatively new to Linux and Docker so I’ll find eventually 
resolve it.

Thank again for making the Jira ticket I believe this would improve the docker 
image installation even more for an almost hands free deployment of Guacamole 
and its extensions. Some other repackaged images make use of the EXTENSIONS 
environment variable to explicitly load extensions too, maybe this idea could 
also be used for the official image to explicitly load extensions besides the 
ones that are implicitly loaded. So whenever in the future there’s an extension 
that has no environment variable linked to it it could just be loaded 
explicitly at deploy time.
