Runner freezes when compiling gradle

Greetings,

I have an issue with my teamcity agent trying to build a java Gradle 8.1.1 project.
The build process stops at:
 

22:24:02  kotlin scripting plugin: created the scripting discovery configuration: kotlinScriptDef
22:24:02  kotlin scripting plugin: created the scripting discovery configuration: testKotlinScriptDef
22:24:02  Compiling build file '/opt/buildagent/work/217665c686f6dec2/build.gradle' using BuildScriptTransformer.

I gave the runner several hours, but without luck.
This is the snippet from the teamcity agent log:

[2023-09-08 23:21:29,558]   INFO - erStages.start.CallRunnerStage - ----------------------------------------- [ Step 1/2: 'Build & Test (Gradle)' (gradle-runner), Build "Thoriumreactors / Build" #8 {id=1726, buildTypeId='ThoriumReactors_Build'} ] -----------------------------------------

The agent runs on a linux ubuntu 22 machine via docker using “docker in docker” and the 2023.05.3-linux-sudo image
