Install issues for cadvisor #238

Closed jgiddens closed 3 years ago

jgiddens commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I am installing this container pack on an unprivileged LXC container on Proxmox PVE 7. The container is based on the ubuntu 21.04 template and all packages are up to date and current. I have cloned the repository and cut and pasted your default docker-compose startup command (with the admin passwords, etc.) This is what I get:

ERROR: for cadvisor  Cannot start service cadvisor: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/kmsg": no such file or directory
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

What am I doing wrong?

Based on my most recent testing binding /dev/kmsg into the container alone via the devices option is not enough, you need to enable the privileged flag on the container too.

You can try remove the whole devices option in the docker-compose.yml you just won't get OOM events which isn't really a big deal.
