Docker build hangs indefinitely.

[akutruff]

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: D0CF5767-95B6-49B5-899D-377C5C2B6B37/20230512174335

Actual behavior

After updating to 4.19 docker build hangs with no feedback forever. docker buildx ls also hangs forever. docker ps and docker run hello-world run perfectly fine.

Expected behavior

It builds

Information

This is a new problem after upgrading to 4.19 this morning. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Docker Desktop. It did not help.

Inside a WSL terminal: docker build works as normal.

It could be related to #13479

Resolved but the issue was the upgrade to buildx. buildx enumerated all contexts on the system and if a host did not have an ssh fingerprint in windows even though it was in WSL, it hung indefinitely and did not time out. You may want to do something about that or kick it over the the buildx team.

Any updates on this?

I have the same problem:

• Docker Desktop 4.19.0 (106363)
• Windows 11
• WSL

I currently solved the issue by downgrading to v4.18.

A side-note to this, as it is not related to this issue, I see significant performance differences between Hyper-V and WSL. Hyper-V seems to have much faster IO access than WSL (both WSL vers. 1 and WSL vers. 2) which speeds up builds among others.

Same issue here. Builds will hang indefinitely on random steps.

• Windows 10
• Docker Desktop 4.26.1
• WSL v2

I managed to get a build to work once by deleting the ~/.docker folder, but it started failing again after that.

Same issue here -- docker builds in WSL2 hang randomly; has been working properly for years. Importantly, I am able to continue builds by manually restarting docker desktop from GUI in Win 11... then my build in WSL2 continues.... but this is a definitely slowing me down. This also affects running containers that hang as well, due to Docker Desktop integration.

This is new behavior in last month since release of Docker Desktop version 4.29.0
