I am trying to run wekan from source

I followed the instructions on the wiki and have uncommented the build section from the docker-compose file and did docker-compose up -d --build

I am running it on windows 10 machine

anyone facing / faces similar issue ?

If you have not made source code changes, you can also use prebuilt bundle with just Windows version Node+MongoDB, without Docker. At Wekan website https://wekan.github.io is Download button Windows, that goes to wiki page that at top a) has info, direct link: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Windows

    If you wait long enough, it's possible that your Docker build on Windows 10 does finish.

                              Because it's a huge amount of work to maintain separate fork of Wekan

                                  So in case of fork, you would need to merge changes and fix merge conflicts very often

                                    If you don't have any important files on your Ubuntu 18.04 then you could install Ubuntu 20.04 on top of it

                                      Or alternatively, from Ubuntu 20.04 live USB copy files to your Windows partition

                                            The time to build could change in future, if there are fixes to build time bottlenecks. For example, previously building Wekan did take about one hour - after changing one dependency to older version, time dropped to 11 minutes.

                                              Some future fix could also change time from 11 minutes to much less, or some more. It remains to be seen, there are updates to dependencies very often.
