How to configure jib.httpTimeout when using quarkus-container-image-jib in Gradle?

[yab1ochkin]

Description

I'm using Quarkus with Gradle and the quarkus-container-image-jib extension to build and push container images.

When pushing to a remote container registry with slow or unstable connection, the push sometimes fails with a timeout.

I would like to configure a longer HTTP timeout for the image push. I know that Jib supports a jib.httpTimeout system property, but it doesn't seem to work when running:

What I tried

• Adding -Djib.httpTimeout=600000 to the command line
• Defining systemProp.jib.httpTimeout=600000 in gradle.properties

None of these approaches seem to affect the HTTP timeout, and the push still fails due to a timeout after the default duration.

Question

How can I configure the jib.httpTimeout (or equivalent) when using Quarkus with Gradle and the quarkus-container-image-jib extension?

Is there a recommended way to pass custom Jib settings (such as timeouts) in this setup?

Additional info

• Quarkus version: 3.20.1
• Using: quarkus-container-image-jib

I just tried with the -Djib.httpTimeout approach and I see Jib properly picking up the property in JibSystemProperties#getHttpTimeout.

The debut output I see is:

Thanks for the response!

I tried again using the following command:

./gradlew imageBuild imagePush -Djib.httpTimeout=120000 --debug

And in the debug logs I see that the timeout is equal to the default value:

...
...
[org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultManagedHttpClientConnection] http-outgoing-89: set socket timeout to 20000
[org.apache.http.impl.execchain.MainClientExec] Executing request PATH my-registry/v2/app/blobs/uploads/...
...

The build still fails with a SocketTimeoutException during push [io.quarkus.container.image.jib.deployment.JibProcessor] java.net.SocketTimeoutException

So even though I pass -Djib.httpTimeout=120000, it appears to be ignored or not propagated correctly in this context.

I'll have to check and see if the property is taken into account during push

[geoand]

Just reading the code, it seems to take the property into account, so I would suggest that in your case you debug the build.
You can debug the code by first adding:

compileOnly 'io.quarkus:quarkus-container-image-jib-deployment'

to build.gradle, making sure your IDE downloads the sources of the Jib dependency and finally running

./gradlew clean build -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true -Djib.httpTimeout=120000 -Dorg.gradle.debug=true

[yab1ochkin]

I ran the build with -Dorg.gradle.debug=true as you suggested, and in that mode the -Djib.httpTimeout=120000 property is applied correctly — it's reflected in the logs:

./gradlew clean build -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true -Djib.httpTimeout=120000 -Dorg.gradle.debug=true --debug
...
[DEBUG] [org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultManagedHttpClientConnection] http-outgoing-2: set socket timeout to 120000

However, when I run the same build without -Dorg.gradle.debug=true, the timeout reverts to the default 20000 ms. It seems that in normal (non-debug) mode, Gradle might be running the Jib task in a separate process (e.g. via the daemon), and the system property doesn't get propagated properly.

./gradlew clean build -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true -Djib.httpTimeout=120000 --debug
...
[DEBUG] [org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultManagedHttpClientConnection] http-outgoing-2: set socket timeout to 20000

[geoand]

That very well could be the case. You could also try using --no-daemon and see if the same holds
