openthread/environment docker rsyslogd: imklog: cannot open kernel log (/proc/kmsg): Operation not permitted

I am running openthread/environment:latest docker image (as of 2019-06-15)

When starting on a fresh ubuntu 18.04 with docker 18.09 using the command

ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-198:~$ docker run -it --rm openthread/environment bash

I get the following output

  • Stopping system message bus dbus [ OK ]
  • Starting system message bus dbus [ OK ]
  • Starting enhanced syslogd rsyslogd

rsyslogd: imklog: cannot open kernel log (/proc/kmsg): Operation not permitted

rsyslogd: activation of module imklog failed [v8.32.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2145 ]

Anyone knows whether this is related to ubuntu setup or the docker container or how to fix.

Solution

  • Try adding the --privileged option.

    For example:

    docker run -it --rm --privileged openthread/environment bash
