Meteor app — resetting a deployed app's DB

Tags:

meteor

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
