Is there a simple way to reset the data from a meteor deployed app?
So, for example, if I had deployed an app named test.meteor.com
— how could I easily reset the data that has been collected by that app?
Locally I run meteor reset
, but I am unsure of what to do in production.
If you have your app with you you could do this in your project directory
meteor deploy test.meteor.com --delete
meteor deploy test.meteor.com
The first deletes the app so its all blank. The second deploys a fresh instance of it back.
one way is to login to the mongo instance yourself and delete the relevant data
so something like per collection:
$ meteor mongo APP.meteor.com
> db.users.drop()
> db.xxx.drop()
you could just drop the whole DB, but that would confuse their env and you have to --delete
the app and re-deploy anyway.
> db.dropDatabase()
I know this is a bit old, but I just changed my collection name. so in your /lib/collections.js
file,
someCollection = new Mongo.Collection("originalcollection");
becomes
someCollection = new Mongo.Collection("newcollectionname");
this is assuming of course that your app generates the data for the database.
Simply you can access your meteor DB as
production-db-d2.meteor.io:27017/XYZ_meteor_com
where XYZ = your subdomain
for authentication use meteor auth (username & password)
You can access it from rockmongo, robomogo, mongoui, etc tools.
To access from command line
First authenticate by typing username, password of meteor
$ meteor login
Then
$ meteor mongo XYZ.meteor.com
