so the original appwrite folder is the first one. and i get rid of the children?

get rid of the appwrite folders inside the first one

so for example

TypeScript

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Aug  8 20:13 .
drwx------ 7 root root  4096 Dec  9  2022 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3103 Aug  7 21:35 .env
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3151 Aug  7 08:52 .env.1691398363.backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3064 Aug  7 21:35 .env.1691444128.backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17996 Aug  7 21:35 docker-compose.yml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17996 Aug  7 08:52 docker-compose.yml.1691398363.backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18733 Aug  7 21:35 docker-compose.yml.1691444128.backup

home |__ appwrite
|__ docker-compose.yml |__ appwrite <== get rid of this |__ appwrite

this is the folder after removing

perfect

what about the .env backups

now go to the parent directory with cd .. and run the upgrade commands there

make sure you run migrate commands too!

that's completely fine

you don't need to worry about those

TypeScript

    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
    --entrypoint="install" \
    appwrite/appwrite:1.3.8
