Nice. But why is a Raspberry-specific image necessary?
Looking at your Dockerfile, it should build just as well for any
architecture supported by Debian or any of its derivatives.

I see that there are actually quite a lot of images for tinc on Docker
Hub. The most popular one is jenserat/tinc. It seems it's somewhat
simpler than yours. In particular, it's missing a configure.sh script
that parses environment variables. However, where you say something like
"-e TINC_NAME:client1", which gets parsed by your configure.sh script,
with jenserats's version you just add "-o Name=client1" as an argument
to the docker run command, which is then directly interpreted by tinc.
It's also less typing and more flexible than your approach.
