self host getting stuck

Hello i am self hosting convex using docker. it was working perfectly for months. then suddenly one day after restarting my pc (windows 11) running the backend no longer works. the commands:

$env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files\Git\bin"
$env:AWS_LC_SYS_PREBUILT_NASM = "1"
just run-local-backend

$env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files\Git\bin"
$env:AWS_LC_SYS_PREBUILT_NASM = "1"
just run-local-backend

the log

cargo run -p local_backend --bin convex-local-backend -- "$@"

Is that the entire log? It looks like the process is still running from this Ah, hm, that makes more sense. How big's your DB, and have you turned on rust tracing?
