I’m doing a balena push from the CLI which was working for me last week, but this week I’ve been hitting this error:

I’ve updated my balena CLI and still the same issue. It seems similar to this issue (from 6 years ago):

The build crashes when trying to get libraries from a repo and throws An error occurred: read ECONNRESET (this happens when pushing to master or balena-nocache) The ECONNRESET error was associated with a native ARM server (arm03) that has now been…

Is there any advice or help anyone can provide for this?

The command I’ve been trying to run to update my fleet looks like this:

`balena push erlam/my-fleet --multi-dockerignore --debug --nocache`

It just seems to get hung up on the builder. The status page doesn’t show any outages at the time that i’m running these too.

Hi @erlam,

We opened [Incident: Builder partially degraded service](https://status.balena.io/incidents/jvfk2vgnfqbc). It’s current status is `Monitoring: A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results`. So it is not fully resolved. But it would be helpful to know - are you still experiencing the issue?

Hi @rosswesleyporter

Yes, I’m still experiencing this issue.

Here’s my balena cli version too: `balena --version` = 22.3.4

Is there anything else I can do?

This happens for two reasons:

1. **Bad indentation in `docker-compose.yml`** → the CLI reads it but fails to parse.

2. **Not being in the correct folder** → it can’t find the project and throws a connection or context error.
