Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hwdsl2/docker-ipsec-vpn-server/issues/103

I loaded af_key before creating the container (using the current image). When starting the container I get the following in the log:

================================================

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:514 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64/modules.builtin.bin'
Redirecting to: /etc/init.d/ipsec start

.....

xl2tpd[1]: Listening on IP address 0.0.0.0, port 1701

Any idea what the problem is? Is it related to af_key or something else?

@hwdsl2 commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2018):

@haraldmeyer Hello! Make sure that you bind the /lib/modules directory in the “docker run” command, like this: -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro This is mentioned in the README.

The modprobe error indicates that the container is unable to load the af_key kernel module, and this is typically caused by not binding the directory above, or the kernel modules that match your running kernel may be missing on your host under /lib/modules. You’ll need to reinstall your kernel if that is the case.

If you did successfully load the af_key module on the Docker host, however, you can try to connect a VPN client to test if it works.
