slirp4netns fails when used as networking for rootlesskit in Alpine

[AtelierSnek]

Running rootlesskit with --net=slirp4netns fails to start:

~ ❯ rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns --copy-up=/etc --copy-up=/run \
   --state-dir=/tmp/1000-runtime-dir/rootlesskit-containerd --disable-host-loopback \
  sh -c "rm -f /run/containerd; exec containerd -c config.toml"

BusyBox v1.35.0 (2022-08-01 15:14:44 UTC) multi-call binary.

By the looks of this, it seems that the ip commands being issued aren't being accepted.

Fixes tried

• doas modprobe tun (did not help)

Troubleshooting attempted

unshare --user --map-root-user --net --mount sh -exc 'echo $$ > /tmp/pid && sleep 120' + slirp4netns --configure --mtu=65520 --disable-host-loopback --enable-sandbox --enable-seccomp $(cat /tmp/pid) tap0 Output:

Try apk add iproute2 to install non-busybox version of ip command

That seems to have fixed it, thanks!
