I am trying to create a Nextcloud container, but it is saying it is not permitted to mknod urandom and random. I don't know what this means, but I am having trouble finding the solution. I do not know what you need to know to help me, so please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Code:

Seem the template contains urandom device nodes. An unprivileged container is not allowed to create such device nodes.
