Repositories
It's important to set the correct repositories when using any Linux distro. For Alpine these can be configured in /etc/apk/repositories:
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community
This will use the latest stable repository of Alpine (for example v3.19). To use a different version of Alpine simply change latest-stable to whatever version you want. Do note that you can not (easily) downgrade your system's version. There also is the edge repository which contains the latest packages but it is not recommended because it can result in faster breakage of your system.
If a package is not yet in a stable release one may configure in /etc/apk/repositories:
@<repository> https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/<repository>
for the relevant <repository> and perform:
# apk add <package>@<repository>
for the relevant <package>.
