[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

Appwrite version: appwrite/appwrite:1.1.2

any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Seems like the DB port might be missing. Do you have _APP_DB_PORT set in your .env file?

more than that, the entire ENV file went missing somehow

i restored from backup and now its working, thank you for pointing me in the correct direction.
