I am getting the following issue when running `docker-compose up` in on my machine ```auto [+] Building 0.1s (2/2) FINISHED => [internal] load .dockerignore 0.1s => => transferring context: 2B 0.0s => [internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.1s => => transferring dockerfile: 119B 0.0s failed to solve: Internal: Internal: stream terminated by RST_STREAM with error code: INTERNAL_ERROR ``` For some context, I am just trying to get a basic golang image up as per this [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p08c0-99SyU) My `docker-compose.yml` file looks like this ```auto version: '3.8' services: app: build: . ports: - "3000:3000" volumes: - .:/usr/src/app ``` My Dockerfile looks like this ```auto FROM golang:1.19 WORKDIR /usr/src/app ``` File structure ```auto pppproject |- Dockerfile |- docker-compose.yml ``` Other details about my system: - Windows 10 - Docker version 4.19.0 - Compose: v2.17.3 - Engine: 23.0.5 What I have referred to: - [Docker build not working: rpc error (PROTOCOL\_ERROR)](https://forums.docker.com/t/docker-build-not-working-rpc-error-protocol-error/121584) - I have also referred to another stack overflow thread “docker-compose, failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to compute cache key: “/app/package.json” not found: not found” (sorry I could only put 2 links) - I have another repository with a docker-compose.yml that starts up a django and postgres container and works fine. Can’t share more about that because it’s work related. What I have done: - toggling buildkit on and off - turning off other network services like Synctazor on my machine - uninstall and reinstall docker, restart, update docker desktop ---

It seems you tried hard. I didn’t remember it, but there was another related issue before: > [@Docker build not working: rpc error (PROTOCOL\_ERROR)](https://forums.docker.com/t/docker-build-not-working-rpc-error-protocol-error/121584/6): > > Hi! Same issue here. FYI, updating Docker Desktop from version 4.15.X to 4.16.1 fixes the issue and I was finally able to (re)add “node\_modules/” in my .dockerignore raised_hands. The last user who commented could solve it by updating Docker which you tried too, but which version did you update from? ---

I didn’t take note of what the previous version was, but it must be quite some time since I last update…, However, I found a very strange workaround for the issue: The error seems to come about when I run docker-compose from a newly clone github repository (my own repo) _However, when I made a new directory locally instead and ran docker-compose from there, it worked and I was able to get containers built, use docker bash etc._ Have you encountered similar issues before? ---

> [@smthnc87](#): > > The error seems to come about when I run docker-compose from a newly clone github repository (my own repo) No, but I rarely use Docker on Windows. So the error happens only when you build a specific image or could you build the same content by creating everything locally instead of cloning from the repo? ---

Then my guess is that your Git client on Windows changes line endings when you clone the project. Git Bash let’s you turn this behaviour off when you install it. I don’t know why line endings would cause the error you had, but chaning line endings automatically can definitely cause problems. ---

Thank you for bringing this up! Never knew of such a thing and I will have to look into this further ---

@rimelek clone from git bush really worked for me, thanks a lot! Will be greate to add that info into guide page for windows section [Containerize an application | Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/02_our_app/) ---

I had a similar problem. For me changing the file encoding, to UTF-8 solved the issue. In VS Code there is the metadata in the bottom right corner. There you can go on the encoding method and change it to UTF-8 (do “Save with Encoding” and not the other one). I hope it helps someone, as it took years of my life. ---

Thank you a lot, dude, you were a life saver. I was dealing with this problem for a long time.
