DB connection | Got timeout reading communication packets
When looking at the logs of appwrite-mariadb I'm seeing a lot of:
TypeScript
2026-04-09 7:37:28 10 [Warning] Aborted connection 10 to db: 'appwrite' user: 'appwrite' host: '172.19.0.22' (Got timeout reading communication packets)
And I can't see function executions in console. It always shows them as empty even when functions have been executed.
I also had an issue where healtcheck user wasn't able to login to mariadb so I could never get healthy on the container. Was able to fix it with by switching it to use root user.
In my .env I have: _APP_USAGE_STATS="enabled"
For db config I have:
TypeScript
_APP_DB_ADAPTER="mariadb"
_APP_DB_HOST="mariadb"
_APP_DB_PORT="3306"
_APP_DB_SCHEMA="appwrite"
_APP_DB_USER="appwrite"
_APP_DB_PASS="*****"
_APP_DB_ROOT_PASS="*****"
Appwrite version: 1.9.0
I've even tried this:
TypeScript
docker compose down
docker volume rm appwrite_appwrite-mariadb
docker compose up -d --force-recreate --remove-orphans
And then restored a backup of the database to get my data back, but still the same issue persisted.
For functions under Usage tab I can see that they are getting executed, and I get expected results from them, but I can't see any execution logs.
TL;DR
Developers are experiencing timeout errors in the DB connection and unable to see function executions in the console. They had an issue with the `healthcheck` user not being able to login to MariaDB. Changing it to use the `root` user fixed the problem. They tried restarting the containers and restoring a database backup, but the issue still persists. Despite functions being executed and giving expected results, execution logs are not visible in the console.
**Solution**: Check the network configuration between the MariaDB container and the appwrite container. Review the DB connection settings in the `.env` file and ensure they are correct. Additionally, verify if the
