I’m experiencing extremely long build times today. Last week it was much faster. My project uses a combination of public images from Docker Hub and locally-built containers. Local build with `balena push ` on my RPi4 takes about 60 seconds, but `balena push` to the cloud has been running for the past 25 minutes now and is still working on pulling the `postgres:13` image from Docker Hub. Doing the initial cache pull took ages too (I didn’t time it, but something like 7-8 minutes). ```auto wax% balena push terranode / Packaging the project source...[Warn] [Warn] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [Warn] The following .dockerignore file(s) will not be used: [Warn] * /Users/sgrimm/work/balena/terranode/.dockerignore [Warn] * /Users/sgrimm/work/balena/rhizo-server/.dockerignore [Warn] By default, only one .dockerignore file at the source folder (project root) [Warn] is used.

Hi Steven, have you tried just once ? It might be worth restarting the build. I see no reports on problems with the arm builders but sometimes a builder might have a hick-up and chances are you get a different machine when you try again. Cheers Thomas ---

It does seem to have improved; my latest push finished in about 10 minutes.
