Message: MySQL server has gone away

I'm running 1.3.7 and I'm getting the errors in my logs:

appwrite  | [Error] Timestamp: 2024-03-01T03:29:37+00:00
appwrite  | [Error] Method: GET
appwrite  | [Error] URL: /v1/databases/:databaseId/collections/:collectionId/documents

I think someone mentioned about restarting the server without the volume docker-compose xxx... -v yyy... as a way to try to resolve the issue. May I know if I can retain the data of the system if I keep the database but wipe the volume? I suppose wiping the volume will cause a refresh of the SSL certs but are there any other impact?

Why do you need to wipe volumes?

That's from this note: https://appwrite.io/threads/1131653855529148456

the initial suggestion in that thread was to just restart

If you wipe volumes, you lose data
