Untrusted signature error when using Alpine version >3.11

[l00sed]

fetch https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/main: UNTRUSTED signature
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.7b2bbd51.tar.gz: No such file or directory

Is the repositories file the only thing that determines the version of Alpine to install?

https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/main
https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/community

I've also tried with --branch v3.21 and gotten the same "UNTRUSTED signature" error.

It might be related to this issue?

Do you run alpine-make-vm-image on Alpine Linux or other distro? x86_64 or another architecture?

Is the repositories file the only thing that determines the version of Alpine to install?

alpine-make-vm-image/alpine-make-vm-image

Lines 39 to 41 in 9ebdf2f

	# -b --branch ALPINE_BRANCH Alpine branch to install; used only when
	# --repositories-file is not specified. Default is
	# latest-stable.

Hey thanks for the response. I found a solution. I was running it on a Vagrant vm, but emulating the x86 architecture from Apple silicon (m3 arm). I was having trouble running an alpine image and decided to use the tool on an Ubuntu x86 image that did spin up successfully.

This is when I received the error. Finally I discovered macpine. This was a much easier way to get the x86 emulated alpine vm running on Apple silicon. From there, I was able to successfully install the alpine image tool with apk.

It ran successfully at this point, and I was able to build a newer image.
