Description

Guacamole is disconnecting me from my VNC server after a few seconds of connection. I get fine streaming, but then the connection suddenly disappears. Logs don't show much: guacd.log. I am streaming this in a bit of weird setup, but I don't think it should cause any issues. Basically I host TigerVNC on my machine, then Guacamole runs in a Docker container, and to avoid exposing the port I pipe the VNC data through socat in another docker container. This means the flow of data is VNC -> Docker networking -> socat -> Docker networking -> guacd, but I don't think this should result in random disconnects. socat reports that the sockets are reaching EOF.
