Research direction

Start by reading Makefile targets image and image_alpine, then inspect Dockerfile and Dockerfile.alpine around their package-install commands. Reproduce both builds and determine whether the reported repository connection failures are environmental or require project changes. Done means both image targets build successfully without the package-install errors.

Description

When trying to build a Docker image, I got the following error:

$ make image
docker build -t gh-pages .
