Destination not found.

Error message

Destination not found.

What it means

When creating a service from a pasted docker-compose file, the destination UUID is taken from the query string and resolved against the current team's destinations via find_resource_destination_for_current_team(). A null result throws before the Service row is created, so no half-configured service is left behind.

Solutions

1. Re-enter the flow from the project's environment page so the destination query parameter is regenerated
2. Verify the destination still exists under the team's servers before pasting the compose file
3. Re-create the destination network if it was removed unintentionally

// validate the query param before building the Service
$destination = find_resource_destination_for_current_team($request->query('destination'));
if (! $destination) {
    abort(404, 'Unknown destination - reopen this page from the environment view.');
}

function destinationUuidResolvesForTeam(?string $uuid): bool
{
    return $uuid !== null && find_resource_destination_for_current_team($uuid) !== null;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Opening the 'new docker-compose' page with a ?destination= UUID that is deleted, mistyped, or belongs to another team; a bookmarked or stale link from before a destination (or its server) was removed.

Common situations: Bookmarked URLs carrying an old destination param; destination server deleted; switching teams while keeping an old link; manual edits to the URL.
