If you encounter this issue regularly because of slow network conditions, consider setting COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT to a higher value (current value: 60).

  This didn't work for me. The only thing that seems to work is putting this in the .env for the directory. This is something that I am reluctant to do as a lot of other applications use the .env file by default. E.g craft cms. And I don't want docker-compose setting mixing with these application settings

  Worked great for me since I didn't need a permanent change, I was just getting stuck one time.

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
