Also, is there another file that keeps information about websites running?  
I only have one website in sites.ini, but I can see others in my DK app…

😕

Oh no @nemanjac ! Any ideas how that might have happened? Any updates recently?

Not at all.  
I can restore than manually. I managed to restore a few I’m working on actively, simply by restoring the sites.ini content, but if I know from where a listing of sites is generated inside an app, I can make a simple CLI tool to restore the whole listing.

🤔 Anything in the logs? Would you be able to provide DevKinsta logs?  
They should be located over at /Users/{yourUserName}/Library/Logs/DevKinsta/main.log

There is a whole bunch of erros like

```auto

And this is about time when error first popped up that I lost all entries from sites.ini

```

This is just the first like of many (every host reported the same error).

That `getPath` error repeats a couple of times, but I can’t seem to find any connection between that and weird behavior.

That is about it, I don’t see any errors that

Hey @nemanjac . Could you give this another test on [DevKinsta 2.2.0](https://kinsta.com/devkinsta/)?

It is working fine for a while now.  
First I have recreated manually only those items that were missing.

And now I have a small CLI tool, that allows for any future issues to be mitigated in one command 🙂

```auto
[error] send error: TypeError: Object has been destroyed

```

It seems it is gone now.  
Another thing that I noticed started popping after that is

Thank you for testing that. We believe there may be an issue with the local settings. We’re not entirely sure as we haven’t run into this before. If you haven’t already, it may be worth re-installing Docker. The log also seems to indicate the hosts file may be an issue/damaged.

As for `error: TypeError: Object has been destroyed`, that’s related to the DevKinsta thumbnail generation so it doesn’t appear related.

I’m working on the import-export script, and as soon as I have that ready, I will do a full reinstall of docker and DevKinsta to see will it fix the problems.

I did lot of customizations in time, so it might be the root cause of issues I’m seeing
