Hi everyone I’d like some help please. This is my first time using docker. I setup my docker and followed the instructions on the repo readme which runs successfully. Now I am trying to access the UI which on the readme is [https://localhost/api/OpenELIS-Global/](https://localhost/api/OpenELIS-Global/%C2%A0) or [https://localhost/](https://localhost/). I tried both links but none worked. I’m wondering if I missed anything. Some help and answers would be appreciated. Thank you ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/openelisci/original/1X/e7c6b53a8b52b8afc7d8f6dea39d7f349039b91b.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/openelisci/original/1X/46951bb9e9cc50e91606ecef50078255c61869ce.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/openelisci/original/1X/bbe391505c7d0b82f7eb659d839237391af97c1b.png) ---

I am also experiencing similar issues, with setting up my dev environment. I get to the command " `docker-compose up -d --build`", it starts building but then fails with error message “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).”. I tried increasing the duration of COMPOSE\_HTTP\_TIMEOUT like the error message says, but it fails with error message “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: 3600).” Please what do I do to resolve this. ---

Hey @Tochi if you want to use docker from images built directly from the source code then you should use the command `docker-compose -f build.docker-compose.yml up -d --build` using the [build.docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/develop_3x/build.docker-compose.yml) is meant to just build new images entirely from the source code. Youll have to rebuild the images every time you make changes. For dev purposes , use the [dev.docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/develop_3x/dev.docker-compose.yml). . Follow the instructions on the [readme](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/tree/develop_3x?tab=readme-ov-file#running-docker-compose-with-locally-compiledbuilt-artifacts-ie-the-war-file-and-react-code-for-developers) here that is docker compose With locally compiled/built Artifacts for developers. ---

Hey @Tochi I experienced similar issue while setting up the dev environment just remove the entire codebase and try for fresh start and sometimes its common that some packages are not allowed to be accessed by ISP so try for cloud fare warp do let me know with your logs ---

Hey @Tochi You can delete the folder from you device and follow the process [on the docs](https://docs.openelis-global.org/en/latest/install/) I experienced similar issues and had to delete the folder and start again ---

Hi @Manish I would love to be invited to the slack channel. I dropped my email in the thread for that but I haven’t been invited or added yet. My email is [omokaroloveth10@gmail.com](mailto:omokaroloveth10@gmail.com) Also I would love to ask if I can create issues myself? or I can just open a PR with my fixes? ---

Be sure your network connection is fine, > [@Tochi](#): > > COMPOSE\_HTTP\_TIMEOUT normally is a network issue among others like applying a new timeout value ---

Ok, thanks for your help. I figured it was a slow connection I had. So I followed the documentation to do an offline installation for people like me with slow internet connection. ---
