I can't configure the extension history-recording-storage in Guacamole. Could someone who has configured could help me? I did everything that indicates in the manual (https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/1.5.0/gug/recording-playback.html) but didn't work.

Hi.

Here's how it works:

First, create a 'recordings' folder that can be accessed by docker container. I created a config/guacamole/recordings to make it easy.

Then, amend the guacamole.properties in config/guacamole, and add the following line: recording-search-path: /config/guacamole/recordings

This will override Guacamole's default search location.

Amend your docker-compose.yml, or your docker startup command, to add the history-recording-storage extension.

My docker-compose extension line looks like this now: - EXTENSIONS=auth-totp, history-recording-storage

Restart the container, and make sure the extension is copied in the config/guacamole/extensions folder.

Now setup the recording as per the Guacamole manual. I have setup the recording path as ${HISTORY_PATH}/${HISTORY_UUID}. When a session is closed, you should be able to see in the recordings directory, and see the "View >" link in the History tab:

historylog

And in the selected directory:

recordings

I will add a section in the README to reflect his information.

Please try and revert if this works for you.
Cheers

Hi,

Thanks a lot!!! I'll test, but I think that it's not working because I put the directory in the /config and not in the /config/guacamole.

Which directory?

In your docker config, you just need to specify the config folder. the container will create guacamole and postgres directories.

The recordings directory needs to be created separately.

Don't hesitate to post your configuration and directory tree if you need more assistance.

Hi,

I think that I did everything right but it's not working. Any idea why?

Cheers.

I believe I found the issue: in the guacamole.properties, the setting defining the directory is not correct. You wrote 

history-recording-storage: /config/guacamole/recodings
(with a typo in recoRdings by the way ;-)) where it should be 
recording-search-path: /config/guacamole/recordings

Hi Antoine,

Sorry for the delay but I had some personal problems and couldn't test this change. I tested and still don't work. :-(

Sorry to hear that, hope everything's fine now.

I am at a loss about the issue, as it should be working. You could try to run the container with the environment variable GUACD_LOG_LEVEL=debug. that will give you a more detailed log, and maybe point to another solution.

That's strange.

The only thing left I see is that the container does not have read/write permission on your directory.

Hi @abesnier,

After some review I found the problem, the guacamole.properties had the wrong command... It was history-recording-storage not recording-search-path and I don't know why. But now it's perfect.

Thanks a lot!
