Doing More With Docker Images - fails to download packages

[Hussain-Ruhullah]

after installing ubuntu:
docker container run -ti ubuntu bash
and :
apt-get update
apt-get install -y figlet
it says:
E: Unable to locate package figlet

We are currently unable to connect to any resources from our containers, which completely hinders our ability to progress through the exercises.

Exercise 2 cannot be completed. Trying to instantiate a new image with the Dockerfile:

FROM alpine
RUN apk update && apk add nodejs

Will throw an error at apk update, since it is unable to connect to the internet.

I tried with ubuntu and apt too, no surprises, it's broken. :'(
