Hi @jonasfagerlund ,
I'm late in reply but I've been in the same situation. With the Docker Dashboard native apps you can do visually see all running images/containers/volumes. The db is likely one of the Volumes so you can go in there to delete it as needed.
Thanks for the question.
Been following the book with the exception of doing some sidesteps when I got curious. This has led to some database problems and I am now in need of a reset.
I'm still only working locally
I've tried the reset_db command included in Django-extensions but it says there are two users using the database and therefore it can't be dropped. I guess it is the two docker containers. Don't know how to work around that.
I've also tried to follow along with this guide. Which says I should be able to reset using this command
docker-compose exec <database service name> psql -U <db_user_name> -d postgres -c “DROP DATABASE <db_name>;”
The problem with that is that I do not know the username nor the name of the database since I use these settings(introduced in chapter 8)
Any advice?
