[Solved] "/dev/net/tun": no such file or directory`

Post by usr3 »

Thought i would post a something fixed an issue for me for the following error, I believe its in reference to gluetun:

Code: Select all

Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/net/tun": no such file or directory`

Heres the fix:

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir -p /dev/net
sudo mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
sudo chmod 600 /dev/net/tun

However, when I reboot the serve I need to re-add it, could someone hint why?

Hey!

First of all, the issue is not "Solved", so I removed the "[Solved]" flair.

Second, you should not need to create your own /dev/net/tun device. It looks like you are running YAMS in an unsupported environment. Can you give more insight on how are you running YAMS? Is it bare metal? Is it a VM? VPS? LXC? What OS are you running?

Cheers!

That's what I thought :)

You need to run a Proxmox privileged LXC in order to have access to /dev/tun devices.

I'm marking the issue as solved since it's not related to YAMS! :D

I am dealing with this same issue. I created a container that has Unprivileged Container: No as the setting on my Proxmox server. I have not tried creating the tun item either.
