Recently, I noticed that the following error messages often appear in docker-compose:

ERROR: An HTTP request took too long to complete. Retry with --verbose to obtain debug information.
If you encounter this issue regularly because of slow network conditions, consider setting COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT to a higher value (current value: 60).

Adding COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT seems to only delay the error. Is this a known issue? Or is there a workaround?
Tried increasing the COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT environment variable and it didn’t work.

# Increase timeout period to 120 seconds.
export COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120;
# Rebuild all containers using the new images.
docker-compose up -d;

# or use docker-compose --verbose up -d to check out the errors

My Solution:

sudo service docker restart
docker-compose up

Maybe I have a high inode

df -ih			#  -i, --inodes   List information about information nodes, not data block usage
