tinc for RPi

A Dockerfile for tinc on the Raspberry Pi.

This image was based off jenserat/tinc and the old vimagick/tinc-arm.

This image is for the Raspberry Pi. If you need a x86 tinc image, jenserat/tinc is my personal favorite.

Using this container as part of a Raspberry Pi home server without portforwarding

Building

Run docker build -t jordancrawford/rpi-tinc .

Running

First, follow a tinc tutorial to setup your tinc config. This DigitalOcean tutorial is a good start..

You need a tinc configuration folder that you can point to /etc/tinc in the image.

No netname folder is necessary, the configuration (e.g.: tinc.conf, hosts, tinc-up, tinc-down, etc) should all be at the root directory of your configuration.

Running the server

Run the container like: docker run -d --net=host --cap-add NET_ADMIN --device=/dev/net/tun -v [your tinc config path]:/etc/tinc --name tinc jordancrawford/rpi-tinc

Take note, this requires --cap-add NET_ADMIN and --device=/dev/net/tun to work!

Running other TINC commands

When setting up your TINC config, you may want to use other TINC options, such as the "-K" option to generate your keys.

You should run these without Dockers detached mode, e.g.: docker run -v [your tinc config path]:/etc/tinc --name tinc jordancrawford/rpi-tinc -K
