# Common Issues & Questions

## Environment

### Postgres Database

The database login-details are set upon first-launch.
Therefore trying to change them later, after first-launch, will require a change of these details.
A way of sidestepping manually changing this in the DB-shell is by deleting the postgres data volume.

> [!WARNING]
> Do not run this command in prod, it will delete ALL data in our database.

```shell
docker volume rm quatsh-website_postgres-data
```

After running this command a Django Migration has to be run to remake the tables.

``` shell
docker exec quatsh-website-web-1 python manage.py migrate
```

## Make - errors

If you see an error looking as follows docker isn't actually running.
```
PS C:\*\Quatsh-Website> docker compose ls
error during connect: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2FdockerDesktopLinuxEngine/v1.50/containers/json?filters=%7B%22label%22%3A%7B%22com.docker.compose.config-hash%22%3Atrue%2C%22com.docker.compose.project%22%3Atrue%7D%7D": open //./pipe/dockerDesktopLinuxEngine: The system cannot find the file specified.
