Docker buildx – build fails with 'TLS handshake timeout' while docker pull works ok – Debian

I’ve run across issue with building image for ARMv7 on the x86_64 platform. I was able to build the exact image on previous machine (in december), now I set up new one, and the build fails while loading metadata. I tried it back on the previous one and I am getting same issue.

I am not using proxy, and working with the Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0 on Debian 10.

debian@master-vm:~/zulu/source/docker-image-modbus-server$ sudo docker buildx build --progress=plain .
WARN[0000] No output specified for docker-container driver. Build result will only remain in the build cache. To push result image into registry use --push or to load image into docker use --load

However, I am able to pull the image via docker pull arm32v7/python:3-alpine.

I noticed via docker buildx imagetools inspect, that there are no platform spcified. Could it be the issue?

debian@master-vm:~/zulu/source/docker-image-modbus-server$ sudo docker buildx imagetools inspect docker.io/arm32v7/python:3-alpine

I would be glad for any help with this issue.

I posted it as an issue on Docker buildx GitHub, but asking here too if maybe I am missing something in my configuration. https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues/275
