> The "device redirection" feature in guacd-docker does not work since version

> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-1609
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1609
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: guacd-docker
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.4.0
> Reporter: Yukiya Hayashi
> Priority: Major
>
> *Background*
> I am running Guacamole with Docker and using the "device redirection"
> feature on a Windows Server.
> After upgrading Guacamole from version 1.1.0 to 1.4.0, the "device
> redirection" function no longer works.
> *What I investigated*
> I have isolated the problem and found that there was no problem up to
> version 1.2.0 and the problem started with version 1.3.0. The cause appears
> to be that the user used in the container was changed from root to guacd
> starting with version 1.3.0. The guacd process seems to create a directory
> with the name of the target host in / in order to use "device redirection".
> Up to version 1.2.0, the directory was created without any problem because it
> was started as root user. However, since version 1.3.0, the "device
> redirection" does not seem to work because the directory cannot be created
> under / for the guacd user.
> *Possible solutions*
> I have the following two ideas, and I would like you to consider the latter
> approach if possible.
> - Make guacd startup user as root as it was up to version 1.2.0.
> - Change the path for the guacd process to create the "device redirection"
> directory to something appropriate (e.g. /tmp/ would be appropriate).
> *Sample Logs*
> The following is an excerpt from the log that occurred in my environment. I
> logged into the server "ADC01" and observed a permission error in the
> directory creation.
> > _guacd[25]: ERROR: Unable to create directory "/ADC01": Permission denied_
> ```
