Hi,  
I’m locked out of DevKinsta, after a probably failed update yesterday. Stopping all services in terminal (Mac) won’t help. I urgently need access to maria db but it fails to start up also repo is greyed out. PANIC!

Here are some logs

Hi @Johannes, thanks for reaching out. Was this after a failed update of DevKinsta? Are you able to use Time Machine to [restore Docker](https://www.jappler.com/2021/12/14/how-to-restore-a-docker-container-with-time-machine-mac-os/)? I’m not sure if you have that configured in your Docker settings.

Assuming the issue is similar to this: [linux - mysqld fails to start due to InnoDB - Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/questions/1094543/mysqld-fails-to-start-due-to-innodb) then the solution listed there and [here](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415186180493-MySQL-or-MariaDB-is-faulted-due-a-startup-error) might fix the issue.

I can’t reproduce this error so all I can do is provide ideas. My best guess is that you will need to make this change in the devkinsta\_db\_data Volume. These instructions for Mac might help: [Getting path and accessing persistent volumes in Docker for Mac ⚡ | TimOnWeb](https://timonweb.com/docker/getting-path-and-accessing-persistent-volumes-in-docker-for-mac/)

On Windows, I can reach the directory with the logfiles by navigating here:  
`\\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes\devkinsta_db_data\_data`

The Mac path should be somewhat similar. The solution should be renaming or deleting the `ib_logfile` file. I recommend making a backup of it if deleting.

Thanks Kevin, I think I’ll start off with the database recovery (delete log) before I’ll go on and try to restore docker through time macjine. I’ll let you know where it led to.

Thank you!
