The error message you're seeing indicates that there was an issue with loading the build context for your Docker image. The context refers to the files and directories in your project that Docker uses to build the image. Here are a few things to check and try to resolve the issue:

1. **Dockerfile Location**: Ensure that your `Dockerfile` is in the correct directory and that you're running the `docker build` command from the correct context (the directory containing the `Dockerfile`).

2. **Context Size**: The size of the context (131.47MB in your case) could be causing issues if it's too large. Docker tries to send all the files in the build context to the Docker daemon. Consider the following:
– Use a `.dockerignore` file to exclude unnecessary files and directories from the context. Common entries include:

node_modules
     npm-debug.log
     .git
     .env

– Check if there are large files that can be removed from the context.

3. **Network Issues**: The cancellation could be due to network issues while pulling the base image. Ensure that your internet connection is stable.

4. **Docker Resources**: Make sure Docker has enough resources allocated (CPU, memory) in your Docker Desktop settings.

5. **Restart Docker**: Sometimes, simply restarting the Docker service or your computer can resolve transient issues.

6. **Use Specific Base Image**: Instead of using `composer:latest`, try specifying a specific version tag (e.g., `composer:2.1`). This can sometimes prevent issues related to pulling images.

Try these steps and see if they help resolve the issue. If it persists, please provide more details about your Docker setup or the `Dockerfile` you're using.
