Post Appwrite installation when I change the default password for mariaDB in .env file (_APP_DB_PASS / _APP_DB_ROOT_PASS) it causes a bad gateway error and Appwrite docker logs have the below error

Database not ready. Retrying connection (1)...
Database not ready. Retrying connection (2)...

How is one supposed to change the default password ?

Summary

Changing the password in the .env file only affects how Appwrite connects to the database, not the database password itself. To change the MariaDB password, follow the usual steps for changing a database password.

Changing the password in the .env only changes what Appwrite uses to connect to the database. The password in mariadb is still the same. You'd follow the typical steps of changing a mariadb password to actually change the password
