Issues with networking/apk

If you've received an error when installing a program or running apk update, e.g.

fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.8/main/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.8/main: temporary error (try again later)

check the output of cat /etc/resolv.conf.

If that returns nothing, you might be on a cellular network. Solutions to this:

  1. Connect to a WiFi network so iSH can get the nameservers automatically, or
  2. Set your own nameservers:
$ echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf

Now try it again!
