Add support for Hypriot-OS on the Raspberry PI

[greylurk]

The folks over at http://blog.hypriot.com/ have built a custom raspbian-based distro which makes it easy to stand up a docker host on the Raspberry PI (and a few other ARM devices). However, when I try to add one of the new items to docker-machine, I get an "OS Type Unrecognized" error:

$ docker-machine -D create --driver generic --generic-ip-address=192.168.0.150 --generic-ssh-key=/Users/greylurk/.ssh/id_rsa --generic-ssh-user=pirate --engine-storage-driver=overlay docker-pi-1

If I edit the "ID=" field in /etc/os-release on the raspberry pi to read "ID=debian" instead of "ID=raspbian" then it works fine, so the fix might be to fall back to the ID_LIKE if the ID field isn't recognized, but I'm not sure how that affects other debian derivatives

They also contributed a lot to integrate docker on raspbian directly, which is now available in the APT repo, so hypriot-os is not stricly required anymore :)

There is a PR on its way for a raspbian provisioner (#3605), looks good but it's blocked for now because of a small quirk related to systemd config.

If I patch /etc/os-release, I get a little further with hypriotos-rpi-v1.4.0, but I still hit this subsequently:

Maybe this issue should be renamed to something more generic.
The fact that ID_LIKE is not used as fallback is just clearly wrong.

Would be great to see this fixed.

[agorgl]

Just bumped to this too, would love to see the solution @tcurdt proposed implemented.

[offbeatful]

Still an issue in 2020.

If ID_LIKE=debian is specified, my one-liner PR should solve the issue. Hopefully it's merged and we can use docker-machine with debian-like distros.
