If this is your yaml:

pipeline:
  build:
    image: node
    commands:
      - npm install
      - npm test

Drone translates this to the following docker command:

docker run node /bin/sh -c "npm install; npm test"

So to clarify, these are not ‘requests in drone’. These are requests inside a Docker container. Therefore, it might make sense to engage Docker support with this question, since this seems more like a generic Docker runtime question to me.

In this case, it looks like a problem with networking. Drone creates a user-defined network per-pipeline execution. I would recommend you test and verify that there are no issues with user-defined networks on your machines.

@bradrydzewski thank you for your opinion, I think you are right. I’ll check docker node image why it happens.

also if you are running behind a firewall you might need to provide drone with HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, NO_PROXY variables. That fact that you are seeing timeouts indicates a network issue. This is a common root cause.
