Please, I am a beginner, can someone help me! Anytime i run docker-compose build, i got the following errors:

WARNING: Ignoring http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz: temporary error (try again later)
WARNING: Ignoring http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz: temporary error (try again later)
ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:

    required by: world[postgresql-client]
ERROR: Service 'app' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c apk add --update --no-cache postgresql-client' returned a non-zero code: 1

Below is my Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.7-alpine
MAINTAINER Tboost Technology
#set environment variable
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

#install dependencies
COPY ./requirements.txt /requirements.txt
RUN apk add --update --no-cache postgresql-client
RUN apk add --update --no-cache --virtual .tmp-build-deps \
    gcc libc-dev python3-dev linux-headers postgresql-dev
RUN pip3 install -r /requirements.txt
RUN apk del .tmp-build-deps

#mkdir to store your apps source code
RUN mkdir /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./app /app

#create user to run apps in the docker
RUN adduser -D user
#switch to the user
USER user

Here is my docker-compose.yml file

version: "3"

services: 
    app:
        build: 
            context: .
        ports: 
            - "8000:8000"
        extra_hosts: 
            - "host.docker.internal:172.17.0.1"
        volumes: 
            - ./app:/app
        command: >
            sh -c "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
        environment: 
            - DB_HOST=db
            - DB_NAME=app
            - DB_USER=postgres
            - DB_PASS=supersecretpassword
        depends_on: 
            - db
    
    db:
        image: postgres:11-alpine
        restart: always
        environment: 
            - POSTGRES_DB=app
            - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
            - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=supersecretpassword

Below is my requirements.txt file:

Django>=3.0.7,<3.0.8
djangorestframework>=3.11.0,<3.12.0
psycopg2>=2.7.5,<2.8.0

flake8>=3.6.0,<3.7.0

in your initial RUN directive, I believe you need to update the apk package manager.
apk update && apk add --update --no-cache postresql-client
That properly installed the client on a local container…
I saw those initial warnings doing a search for postgresql*
then i did apk update, then the search and it all worked properly.

I do not believe the container has internet access?
I would double check that the build has internet access?
