I have run a test install for a while. I am now ready to do it for good. Is there a way to reset everything, and run the initial setup (as a new install) without wiping the container? Thanks!
Why do you want to avoid wiping the container? If you want to wipe everything except app.yml and return to a blank Discourse install and its set-up wizard,
cd /var/discourse
./launcher stop app
rm -rf shared/standalone/
./launcher rebuild app
should do the job in less than 10 minutes.
Running the commands above will wipe all data of the Discourse instance, including backups.
Thanks for the reply. Will this allow me to set a new hostname as well? It is a full reinitialising, yes?
If you want to update the hostname, update app.yml before running the rebuild command.
谢谢 @fefrei！截至 2023 年，此过程仍然可以完美地擦除删除所有帖子、数据和用户，并重置或重新初始化 Discourse 实例。
