How to override the default value of COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT with docker-compose command

DockerDocker Compose

Docker Problem Overview

I have docker-compose which fetches some of the images and builds one. When I run docker-compose up , I am getting the following error

> 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).

Question: How to pass the COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT with docker-compose command?

Docker Solutions

Solution 1 - Docker

COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT is an environment variable, so

COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=200 docker-compose up

Solution 2 - Docker

You need your COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT at your docker instance level (docker-compose up) and not inside your docker image. So the solution is to create a .env file and put this inside:

#.env
COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=200

you can check the doc [here][1]

Solution 3 - Docker

For Mac users, restarting docker from the status bar icon fixed this issue:

Restarting Docker

Solution 4 - Docker

restart the docker

command: sudo service docker restart

then try docker-compose up

Solution 5 - Docker

I faced this issue recently. Even after overriding the default COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT value it did not work for me.

Possible cause As mentioned in documentation Compose CLI environment variables

> COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT: Configures the time (in seconds) a request to the Docker daemon is allowed to hang before Compose considers it failed. Defaults to 60 seconds.

Removing the tty:true from my docker-compose worked for me.
