The catalog service just calls essentially `git clone https://github.com/rancher/rancher-catalog` and the error message seems pretty clear that it tried to connect but never got a response. ---

> [@ebishop](#): > > fatal: destination path This is again a git clone error, because the ./DATA folder was not empty when git tried to clone the repo. But this is strange since rancher service does remove this folder and clones the catalog newly every time you restart it. Did you see this error after you restarted Docker? Or any specific steps that lead you to this error? ---

I did restart docker along the way. It’s likely a firewall issue, as @vincent sugggested. I was able to pass in a proxy env varible and it works now. This is just a problem I didn’t have before 44, that I know of. And I suppose the problem was on my end. 😁 ---
