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 are also the edge repositories which contain more packages but these are not recommended because they can result in faster breakage of your system.

We also host our own repository which contains some packages not found in the stable repository like nix but also our own packages like linux-hardened. If you want to add it to your system edit /etc/apk/repositories and add this line under the other repositories:
