Found workaround which fixes this problem:

in ./<project_directory>/.docksal/docksal.yml add following two lines for each container (cli, web, db):

extra_hosts: - "api.wordpress.org:198.143.164.251"

then restart (fin stop; fin start).

What this does, is adding static host record in /etc/hosts for each container. Issue can be closed.

@regenrek I experienced similar problem with Docker, but for a different application. In my case the problem was IP resolution over IPv6 network.

To see if you are having the same issue, try to set the following cURL option: curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);

If it makes the timeout error go away, it means that you have IPv6 configured for Docker, but the host running your containers cannot reach the Internet over IPv6. In that case you can either make Internet connection accessible over IPv6 or disable it for Docker. To do the latter, make sure that dockerd is not started with --ipv6 or --fixed-cidr-v6 flags. Secondly disable IPv6 for the host network interface used by docker. For example if you have docker0, disable it like sudo sysctl -w sysctl net.ipv6.conf.docker0.disable_ipv6=1.

I hope this helps.
