<Accordion title="Error building backend (Alpine Linux CDN temporary error)">
The Alpine Linux CDN may be unavailable/down in your region infrequently (eg. there is an unplanned outage). One possible fix is to add a retry mechanism and a fallback mirrors array to the Dockerfile. You can also use this as an opportunity to pin the Alpine Linux version for Docker to use in case there are issues with the latest version. Ensure to use https for the mirrors.
#### Make the following changes to the backend Dockerfile
```bash
# Pin Alpine version from list: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/
ARG ALPINE_VERSION=3.17
ARG ALPINE_APPEND=v3.17/main
# Specify number of retries for each mirror
ARG MAX_RETRIES=3
# Define base Alpine mirror URLs in attempt order from list: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/MIRRORS.txt
ARG BASE_ALPINE_MIRRORS="https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/alpine https://uk.alpinelinux.org/alpine"
