Hey guys,

I have a running installation of ehrbase and the underlying postgres via two docker images (ehrbase and ehrdb). This should be the default installation. How can I reset the the database, that is, delete all data and begin from a fresh installation?

Thanks!

I would normally just  remove the docker containers and rebuild them. The only issue there is that you would remove uploaded templates as well as patient data.

Perhaps create a script to re-upload your templates via the API?
