Docker compose down command is deleting total data

I just followed the steps in the website...but docker compose down seems to delete whole data...it is like fresh installation. Please check if i am missing anything. Using latest 1.8.0 in self hosted

you rean only docker compose down? Not docker compose down -v?

Also, what makes you say it's fresh?

Yes...I dint add -v argument... It is fresh as i was logged out of appwrite console and when I tried to log in again .. it didn't happen...I had to sign up again which had none of the previous projects I was working

Did you change the folder name?

nothing was changed...i just edited the env variables to connect github...

Maybe the openssl key changed and then you signed up with a different email. You should connect to the mariadb database directly and see what's in the database

no the mail id is the same....how to connect directly to mariadb database and check if there are other emails/projects?
