Issues running on Ubuntu Server 16.04.6

[GiganteX]

I switched from CoreOS to Ubuntu Server 16.04.6 and ran into issues. I have to run keepalived version 2.0.16 because the higher version require a newer kernel

Still, I get these errors:

me@server:~$ docker run -d --name keepalived \
--env KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_PEERS="#PYTHON2BASH:['192.168.1.52']" \
--env KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPS=192.168.1.99/32 \
--env KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE=eth1 \
osixia/keepalived:2.0.16

me@server:~$ docker logs keepalived

What's wrong and how can I fix it? This worked fine in CoreOS...

You should add --cap-add=NET_ADMIN and probably you would also want to set --net=host

[linkvt]

@GiganteX you need to check how the interface is named inside your container if you decide to change the default

docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash osixia/keepalived:2.0.16
bash-4.3# ip link
...

Also check the README as orenye commented.

@BertrandGouny you can close this issue.
