SOLVED Postgresql

[Jenova]

Hello, I have an issue with postgresql. It wont start back up. I tried using the restart button under System. I talked to Girish about this before and solved it, but I lost the email. Can someone help me? Thanks.

@Jenova Ah! I found your support email. I wonder why this issue has re-surfaced. That too twice with you...

NOTE: this nukes all postgresql data. Don't use this if any of your apps are using postgresql already.

docker stop postgresql
rm -rf /home/yellowtent/platformdata/postgresql/*
sed -e 's/postgresql:2.0.2/postgresql:2.0.1/' -i /home/yellowtent/platformdata/INFRA_VERSION
systemctl restart box

@Jenova If you click the logs button of postgresql what does it say?

[Jenova]

@girish

"Detected existing installation"

I am the person that emailed you the last time, in which the command wouldn't work since I was on my phone.

Because I get impatient with my VPS and run commands while other commands are still running and I break things. This was one of those times where I would run start.sh and systemctl restart docker one too many times and things were not done running.

after Minutes of restarting retries the dot is red

What can i do?

[girish]

@sebgg have you tried clearing out postgresql directory entirely ? Assuming you have backups,

docker stop postgresql
rm -rf /home/yellowtent/platformdata/postgresql/*
```

Then, go to services -> postgresql -> restart. That will rebuild the postgresql container.
