How to load kernel modules for docker container without privileged mode?
2
I would like to use some functions like fuse (sshfs) in a docker container, which is provided by kernel. I can load the modules easily in docker containers with privileged mode. However, if I would like to load the module when the container start and do not let it load other modules, is it possible?

How about mounting the sshfs from the host machine and then sharing the mount point to the container?

Btw, sshfs is not very good for productive usage, although it might be good if your container isn't a long lived one. For productive usage, I would use davfs.

In fact, I am to teach some students about transferring files over internet. It is nature to introduce sshfs when talking about sftp. I would like the students to try in a docker container.

Why docker containers instead of openvz instances: It is easier to set up and damage a docker container, and docker containers consume less disk.

Ok. sshfs is not a kernel module, it is a fuse filesystem. Fuse is the kernel module. Load in the host machine. Sshfs is a process which interacts with this kernel module, and provides the filesystem for it.
