dash on alpine linux (in docker)

I'm trying to install dash in the (dockerized) alpine linux. My Dockerfile follows:

FROM alpine:latest

RUN \
    echo "@community http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories && \
    apk add --no-cache --update dash
ENV SHELL dash

CMD dash

the output I get:

Step 1/4 : FROM alpine:latest
 ---> 053cde6e8953
Step 2/4 : RUN echo "@community http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories &&     apk add --no-cache --update dash

however based on the alpine linux package search it seems to be available in the community repo: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=dash&branch=edge&repo=&arch=&maintainer=

What should I change to make it working?

I think your echo line is wrong.
This file works well for me. 

FROM alpine:edge
RUN echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories \
&& apk add -U --no-cache dash
