  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Import data
      docker_container:
        name: osm-import
        command: import
        detach: no
        cleanup: yes
        image: overv/openstreetmap-tile-server

EXPECTED RESULTS

Completes successfully.

ACTUAL RESULTS

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: UnixHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=None): Read timed out.
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "An unexpected requests error occurred when trying to talk to the Docker daemon: UnixHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=None): Read timed out."}

This did not happen with previous versions.

Do you mean previous 3.x.y releases, or 2.x.y/1.x.y?

[mohd-akram]

The problem exists in 3.0.0 per my testing. The 2.x branch doesn't have this issue. I was on Fedora 35 probably when it worked, I assume it carried 2.x.

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Wait
      docker_container:
        name: test
        command: sleep 2m
        detach: false
        cleanup: true
        image: ubuntu:latest

reproduces this with main (times out after one minute). With stable-2, this works fine.

#527 fixes this.
