Tips for Troubleshooting Docker Context Deadline Exceeded error

Have you recently encountered the error "Context deadline exceeded"? Fortunately, you can resolve the problem with the help of our Support Engineers' troubleshooting advice.

• To start, the WAIT HOSTS option enables us to include a list of services in the docker-compose.yml file that is dependent on the specific services returning the error. In other words, adding the WAIT HOSTS option to the environment section of the docker-compose file may instantly fix the problem.

• As an alternative, you could also see if the node is in a drain state:

docker node inspect --format {{.Spec.Availability}} node

If so, updating the state as shown below will allow us to address the Docker Context Deadline. Overflow error

docker node update --availability active node

A node that is draining is less likely to receive swarm mode resources, such as multi-host overlay network IP addresses. Additionally, the worker node requesting the IP address cannot message the swarm leader using the swarm mode. The Docker context deadline exceeded error is the result of this. Fortunately, fixing the node's status fixes the problem.

• The following port must be open on both machines, according to our support technicians, to fix the error.

• TCP/ UDP: Port 7946

• TCP: Port 2377

• UDP: Port 4789

If not, we can use ufw to enable the ports as shown here:

ufw allow 2377/tcp

• Last but not least, our highly qualified engineers advise making sure that the ENGINE VERSION of the nodes is the same.
