[SOLVED] Fatal Error on appwrite stack

Hello all, my appwrite stack no longer starts up and the appwrite container spits out the following error when spinning up workers and then reboots: [2023-02-21 21:26:10 #1.4] ERROR php_swoole_server_rshutdown() (ERRNO 503): Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Swoole\Database\PDOConfig::withPort(): Argument #1 ($port) must be of type int, string given, called in /usr/src/code/app/init.php on line 510 and defined in @swoole-src/library/core/Database/PDOConfig.php:82 Stack trace: #0 /usr/src/code/app/init.php(510): Swoole\Database\PDOConfig->withPort('') #1 /usr/src/code/vendor/utopia-php/registry/src/Registry/Registry.php(75): {closure}() #2 /usr/src/code/app/http.php(70): Utopia\Registry\Registry->get('dbPool') #3 {main} thrown in @swoole-src/library/core/Database/PDOConfig.php on line 82

Appwrite version: appwrite/appwrite:1.1.2

any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

TL;DR

The appwrite stack was experiencing a fatal error and would not start up. The error message indicated that there was a type error related to the database port. The solution was to check if `_APP_DB_PORT` was set correctly in the .env file. Additionally, it was mentioned that the entire ENV file went missing. The issue was resolved by restoring from a backup.
