Timeout when connecting a (public) Elasticsearch database

I have a notebook that connects with an Elasticsearch database, and while it runs without issues in my laptop, when I execute it through MyBinder (link) I get timeout errors:

GET http://46.101.128.86:9200/_alias [status:N/A request:10.011s]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/srv/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 159, in _new_conn
    (self._dns_host, self.port), self.timeout, **extra_kw)
  File "/srv/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/util/connection.py", line 80, in create_connection
    raise err
  File "/srv/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/util/connection.py", line 70, in create_connection
    sock.connect(sa)
socket.timeout: timed out

If I test the connection through my browser, it works well, so it seems something is blocking the connection from MyBinder.

I’ve tried changing the timeout and timeout_request parameter in the Elasticsearch connection definition es=Elasticsearch(), without any change in the result.

Perhaps, it’s something I am doing wrong, so, any help would be more than welcome!

Just to clarify @betatim’s point:

• You can control this at the level of a BinderHub deployment
• You can’t control this at the level of a repo2docker image

Thank you @choldgraf. I think we can close the issue.
