I wanted to understand why I am getting these errors, but I can’t find anything on the web that specifies those remote methods. Does anybody have any idea on the potential culprits?
I am not familiar with these error messages. All I know is Docker Desktop run a virtual machine so it needs to communicate with the remote Docker Engine. If something happens to the connection or a component inside the VM dies for some reason you can get error messages like this. HTTPD 500 means internal error, so it is not just a timeout.
Can you tell us more about your environment? Docker Desktop version, Windows version, how and when you installed Docker Desktop? When did you met this error message first?
Thank you @rimelek that’s exactly what I was looking for. After removing all images and containers (I had waaay too many), the issue persistence went away.
Specs:
Windows 10
intel core i7
32 GB ram
Docker Desktop 4.10.1 (82475)
Docker engine 20.10.17 (100c701)
Occasionally, I get the timeout error when running docker-compose up -d. In which case I would just rerun the command and it would work.
This time around, not only it would not go away, but it also errored when deleting images/containers.
After cleaning up my environment, I’m back on track (with the occasional timeout during compose up -d, which is fine).
I will look more into how Docker’s VM and engine integration and see if I can spot anything that could have caused this issue. If I ever find out, I will post back here.
Awesome. If you feel you would like to let the developers know about this issue, you can open an issue on GitHub
Since it seems you have a working solution to this error message, your feedback could be valuable to the developers and they could probably handle this situation better in a future release.
Regarding the remaining timeout, that should not happen either.
