Cannot find device "wireguard"

Hi, this is the error I get on ubuntu 18.04

[#] ip link add wireguard type wireguard
RTNETLINK answers: Not supported
Unable to access interface: Protocol not supported
[#] ip link delete dev wireguard
Cannot find device "wireguard"

Same here, a year later. Looks like abandonware.

wireguard-socks-proxy           | [#] ip link add peer1 type wireguard
wireguard-socks-proxy           | RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

Try adding --privileged to the docker run command.

I got similar error, I need to add --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 to docker run command to fix it and remove all ipv6 address from wireguard conf

docker run -d --rm --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
    --name wireguard-socks-proxy \
    --volume wg:/etc/wireguard/:ro \
    -p 1080:1080 \
