Hello,

I'm trying to build an Alpine Linux Docker image with runit installed. I see there is a package available at an official-looking repository here:

https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=runit&repo=all&arch=x86_64&maintainer=all

So my Dockerfile looks like:

FROM alpine
 
RUN \
  apk update && \
  apk add python3 && \
  apk add runit --update-cache --repository <a href="https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages" rel="nofollow">https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages</a> --allow-untrusted
 
ADD . /bd_build
RUN cp /bd_build/bin/setuser /sbin/setuser 
 
RUN /bd_build/system_services.sh && \
	/bd_build/cleanup.sh
 
CMD ["/sbin/my_init"]

Sorry... silly editor converts urls into links! I've also just tried simply "apk add runit". In either case I get an error:

maybe because it's in repo testing?

I was able to install runit by adding the testing repository and then specifying @testing

RUN echo "@testing \http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk --update add runit@testing

(be sure to remove the slash in front of http. it's to make the example code look nicer (forum doesn't try to escape))

@maxbeatty I see that this is what is used in the Dockerfile-lb file in jsperf. But I'm getting the error as below
