[CLOSED] "_APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX" variable is not set after upgrading to 1.4.0

After the update to 1.4.0 I couldn't run migration and it gave me this error: time="2023-08-30T18:43:10+02:00" level=warning msg="The _APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string." Failed to create connection: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolve

Going to localhost:80 also gives this error: {"message":"Error: Server Error","code":500,"version":"1.4.0"} Multiple containers randomly restarting.

Check the first step in this answer.

This doesn't fix these 2 errors:

1. Failed to create connection: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolve
2. {"message":"Error: Server Error","code":500,"version":"1.4.0"}

"_APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX" variable is not set after upgrading to 1.4.0

would you please create separate issues for each of these and include more of the errors

👍 , these are the only errors I get.

To fix the _APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX error edit your .env file and add the variable like so:

_APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX=151

Then make sure your MariaDB is like so in your docker-compose.yml file

  mariadb:
    image: mariadb:10.7 # fix issues when upgrading using: mysql_upgrade -u root -p
    container_name: appwrite-mariadb
    <<: *x-logging
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - appwrite
    volumes:
      - appwrite-mariadb:/var/lib/mysql:rw
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${_APP_DB_ROOT_PASS}
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=${_APP_DB_SCHEMA}
      - MYSQL_USER=${_APP_DB_USER}
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${_APP_DB_PASS}
    command: 'mysqld --innodb-flush-method=fsync --max_connections=${_APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX}'

Where the _APP_CONNECTIONS_MAX is sets in the bottom of that service.

Then run

docker compose down && docker compose up -d

Btw, we have a fix in the works for this
