I had the same issue, the problem is the nginx configuration. It defaults to a 1 minute read timeout for proxy_pass:

Syntax: proxy_read_timeout time;

Default: proxy_read_timeout 60s;

Context: http, server, location

See http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_read_timeout

In my case I've increased the timeout to 10 hours:

proxy_read_timeout 36000s;
