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 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

                                          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.

                                                but we need something more different and tightly integrated, also wekan-gogs in not maintained for quite some time now
