copy/paste between alpine linux guest and macOS host

[Krischu]

How can I copy/paste from between the VBox host and an alpine Linux guest? Somewhere I read I had to install VirtualBox Guest Additions "clipboard sync" .

akp search tells me

Code: Select all

alpine:~# apk search vbox
libvirt-9.10.0-r0
libvirt-vbox-9.10.0-r0
virtualbox-guest-additions-7.0.12-r1
virtualbox-guest-additions-x11-7.0.12-r1
alpine:~# apk add virtualbox-guest-additions-7.0.12-r1
ERROR: unable to select packages:

The Guest Additions are bundled with your VirtualBox software.

Start your VM and then click the Devices menu. You can either attach the Guest Additions CD image (iso) to your VM or perform an unattended install of the GAs
