cannot find device wg0 | RNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

heya,

I recently tried to setup your docker container and wasn't able to get it up and running.

Warning: `/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf' is world accessible,
[#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard,

Cannot find device "wg0",

my kernel is:

root@DietPi:~# uname -a
Linux DietPi 5.4.51-v7l+ #1328 SMP Mon Jul 27 16:57:05 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

and the kernel headers are installed.

Then I followed your guide to create the config file and the 2 keys. Placed all 3 of them in a docker volume and created my stack file.

version: '3.7'

volumes:
  config:

services:
  app:
    image: masipcat/wireguard-go:latest
    cap_add:
     - NET_ADMIN
    sysctls:
     - net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    volumes:
     - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
     - config:/etc/wireguard
    environment:
     - WG_COLOR_MODE=always
     - LOG_LEVEL=info
    ports:
     - 51820:51820/udp
    # Uncomment the following line when 'AllowedIPs' is '0.0.0.0/0'
    # privileged: true
    restart: always

What is going wrong here?
