> I've observed at least guacd VNC plugin to run out of stack space when 
> deployed on Alpine Linux with musl libc. This is not limited to Alpine since 
> quite a few distributions are using musl these days (Void, Bedrock, etc.) and 
> the list is growing. musl libc is especially popular for distributions meant 
> to be the base for Docker containers. Hence, I believe addressing this will 
> be quite important for enabling use of guacd in modern containerized 
> environments.
> The issue itself is well know to Alpine folks: 
> [https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/issues/4147] and they feel 
> (perhaps for right reasons) that applications requiring large(r) thread 
> stacksizes should explicitly declare their requirement. There are currently 
> two ways of accomplishing this: either via a global 
> pthread_setattr_default_np call 
> [https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2017/01/03/1] or via per-pthread_create 
> setting of defaults e.g. 
> [https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/commit/5d65448221af12296f7ef2339ced92771bb465b4]

> I feel that the first option is a better choice for guacd. Attaching a 
> preliminary patch that makes guacd work fine on Alpine 3.8.x
