Error


adding repo from: https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
grabbing file https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo
Could not fetch/save url https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo to file /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo: [Errno 12] Timeout on https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo: (28, 'timed out before SSL handshake')

Answer

I solved it by updating the yum config file, just add timeout=120 to /etc/yum.conf:

cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=5
bugtracker_url=http://bugs.centos.org/set_project.php?project_id=23&ref=http://bugs.centos.org/bug_report_page.php?category=yum
distroverpkg=centos-release

#add timeout here
timeout=120

Set timeout to 2 min (or 3 min = 180), restart the server then re-run your command.
