Alpine: [rootlesskit:parent] error: failed to setup network (open: No such file or directory)

Hello guys,

I'm currently trying to run docker daemon on an alpine image rootless.

dockerd-routless.sh is using rootlesskit but unfortunately I have this error:

/ # + exec rootlesskit '--state-dir=/tmp/dockerd-rootless' '--net=slirp4netns' '--mtu=65520' '--slirp4netns-sandbox=auto' '--slirp4netns-seccomp=auto' --disable-host-loopback '--port-driver=builtin' '--copy-up=/etc' '--copy-up=/run' '--propagation=rslave' /usr/bin/dockerd-rootless.sh
WARN[0000] Running RootlessKit as the root user is unsupported.
WARN[0000] The host root filesystem is mounted as "master:70". Setting child propagation to "rslave" is not supported.

As you can see it tries to run rootlesskit with some argument and fails.
I have also tried to run the command with root permission (I know this is a non-sens), and there is still the same problem.

I have already tried this: 304,

If you need any more information, feel free to let me know.

Please try sudo modprobe tun and sudo modprobe tap

@AkihiroSuda , I don't know if it is related to the Alpine image, but it seems there are some missing files

What version of Alpine are you using? Kernel modules are provided by the linux-lts package (or other flavours), see for example:

https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=tun.ko.gz&path=&name=linux-lts&branch=edge&repo=main&arch=x86_64

Do you have that package installed, or similar?
