use APK cache if available #14

Closed hpresnall closed 3 years ago

hpresnall commented 4 years ago

If /etc/apk/cache exists, use it when creating the VM. This prevents downloading the same packages over and over and lowers network traffic when installing multiple VMs.

It also makes an offline setup possible by using apk fetch to preload all required packages.

Verified by:

  1. creating a VM
  2. export APK_OPTS="--no-network"
  3. creating another VM without errors
