I have this setup

                                                                                      GlusterFS
                                                                                     /
https Cloudflare CDN/proxy -> https DO Load Balancer -> https 2xWordPress app -> 
                                                                                     \
                                                                                      MariaDB

And sometimes when I try to install a plugin I’m getting this error

Installation failed: <!DOCTYPE html> <!--[if lt IE 7]> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 7]> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 8]> <![endif]--> <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <!--<![endif]--> example.com | 504: Gateway time-out <!--[if lt IE 9]><![endif]-->

I’ve checked the apache error logs and they show nothing

Taking a look at the console and network tab I see this
