[SOLVED] Can't Log In or Sign Up after Moving appwrite Folder

hey I just installed AppWrite using the docker command, I'm still new to docker, but I wanted to move the appwrite folder from running the command so I deleted it and deleted the docker instance then reinstalled it, and now I have a new instance and my account I made doesn't work but I also can't create a new one as it says I've reached the maximum number of users?

deleted the docker instance

What do you mean?

I went into docker and hit the trash can haha

So you only deleted the running containers?

I just ran the docker compose stop and docker compose down -v to attempt to actually uninstall it rq, I assume that was what I was missing?

probably, yes. If you only deleted the containers earlier, the volumes (where the actual data is persisted) were still intact.

The -v in docker compose down -v says to delete the volumes as well as the containers.

If you spin everything up now with docker compose up -d you should be able to sign up again

btw...are the docker-compose.yml and .env files still in a folder named appwrite?

I don't see any .env file

that's it

on unix based system, files that start with a dot are hidden. in the terminal you can show them by running ls -a. ls to list the contents of the directory and the -a flag says to show all files (including hidden)

afaik I had enabled that globally that it would show hidden files, lemme check

ah yeah of course there it is

and yes

they are in appwrite folder

looks like the folder is still named appwrite. that's good. to keep things simple, make sure the folder stays as appwrite

okay gotcha, thank you!
