Docker Compose request (HTTP) read timeout

Question

When I run this:

docker-compose --verbose create

I get this error:

compose.config.config.find: Using configuration files: ./docker-compose.yml
docker.auth.find_config_file: Trying paths: ['/home/ubuntu/.docker/config.json', '/home/ubuntu/.dockercfg']
docker.auth.find_config_file: No config file found

requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: UnixHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=None): Read timed out. (read timeout=120)

I tried to extend the time:

export DOCKER_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=120
export COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120

But clearly it has had no affect.

I rather not share my compose file. But here is a part of it:

version: '2'

services:

  ntpd:
    build: ../../../www/DockerNtpd/alpine
    volumes:
      - ntpd-log:/var/log/ntpd/:rw
    network_mode: host

  consul:
    image: consul
    networks:
      dbs:
        aliases:
          - consul
      apps:
        aliases:
          - consul
    volumes:
      - consul-log:/var/log/consul/:rw
      - consul-conf:/etc/consul/:rw

  vault:
    build: ../../../www/DockerVault/alpine
    depends_on:
      - consul
    volumes:
      - vault-log:/var/log/vault/:rw
    networks:
      dbs:
        aliases:
          - vault
      apps:
        aliases:
          - vault

It seems that it is getting stuck on the Consul image: https://hub.docker.com/_/consul/

I also checked the https://status.docker.com/ and it says All Systems Operational.

It used to work when I used the Vagrant provisioning for Docker.
