MariaDB refuses to connect to appwrite

Earlier, I tried updating my Appwrite version from 18.1.x to the latest release because my Flutter package required it to function properly. I used the official wizard to update my client to the latest version. Everything worked fine, and there weren't any errors on the console, so I assumed it was functioning properly. However, out of the blue, MariaDB refused to connect properly.

Here is the corrected version of your text:

This is what my Docker logs say literally, that is it. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know how to fix it. I tried deleting all volumes and networks, but to no avail.

2026-07-25 16:08:26 23 [Warning] Aborted connection 23 to db: 'appwrite' user: 'user' host: '172.18.0.30' (Got an error reading communication packets)

2026-07-25 16:08:26 22 [Warning] Aborted connection 22 to db: 'appwrite' user: 'user' host: '172.18.0.30' (Got an error reading communication packets)

is it mariadb that throwing this ? is there logs in the appwrite container side ?

by any change do you use ARM or a specific setup ?

i highly recommend doing a backup if you didn't already (tho it souldn't corrupt any data as it drop anything that contains errors)

Yes MariaDB is throwing this, i followed and let the update installer manage this and it broke the whole system. I'm using Windows x86_64, docker desktop, there isn't a specific setup that altered default appwrite in any way

Why could this be happening

?
