ANSWERED Eddie inside of Docker

[bm9vbmUK 7]

I'm trying to create a docker image that connects to a VPN on launch with Eddie. It appears the error I'm getting is related to a driver that's needed at some point, but I can't find any details. I'm using the standard portable eddie version (though I also tried mono and ended up with the same result). The relevant logs are as follows...

I'm sure I could get this working without Eddie, but I'd rather use the built in network-lock than have to configure something myself. If anyone has any ideas what is going on here, please let me know.

 

 

Thanks

It looks like Eddie can't find the tun driver. It's installed by default in Ubuntu.

Is it a custom installation?

Interesting.. I'm using the Ubuntu 16.04 image. I'm not sure what the differences between the image and the actual distro are. Do you have anymore info on the tun driver? I could try to install it manually

All I know is that it's a kernel module but installing it isn't my area of expertise!!

Try the docker forums

Found my solution at the bottom here -> https://github.com/kylemanna/docker-openvpn/issues/39 . Had to add '--device=/dev/net/tun'  to my docker run command
