The user running guacamole is trying to create a directory and is getting a permission denied error, which means that user account does not have access to create that directory. I'm not sure why it would be trying to create it at the root of the container (//.guacamole), unless the home directory for this user is set to / or you're overriding the location of GUACAMOLE_HOME to point to /. You might just have to continue to adjust things within the Openshift platform until you're able to get it to the point where the container can write a directory. I am starting to get more familiar with Openshift and K8s, so if I have a chance in the near-future I'll try to try it out and see if I run into the same issues, but not sure exactly when that'll be. -Nick
