Nice !
There is a dockerized version but a binary is very interesting !

Yes a IPK. that would be nice.

I would like a work opkg server that we could get packages from. Then It could be easier when updates is made.

I prefer to use the Tailscale docker container.

docker run -d
–name=tailscaled
–restart=unless-stopped
–network=host
-v /var/lib:/var/lib
-v /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
-v /var/lib/tailscale:/var/lib/tailscale
-e TS_ROUTES=< ip range >/24
-e TS_AUTHKEY=< key >
–cap-add=NET_ADMIN
–cap-add=NET_RAW
tailscale/tailscale

Enjoy!
