wipe the volume from within the volume setting, additionally railway does not take any backups for you in any way

can volume be wiped programmatically or through cli?

you can wipe it from the API yeah

with cli no?

the CLI doesn't offer that functionality afaik

oof. I'm US based

only auth'd no playground?

that's okay because that's not how the API works

well most graphql apis take you to a playground if it's a GET request

instead of blocking you

can you tell me your usecase please?

graphiql

example https://graphql.github.com/ redirects you to a playground if it's GET

can you tell me your usecase?

i want to explore the schema so I can construct the necessary query in order to wipe volume

nice thanks

i meant your usecase for wiping the volume

oh sorry

I'm creating railway deployment guide then a template for this https://github.com/joshstevens19/rindexer

while developing that I find myself deploying frequently and needing a fresh database. Basically to make sure indexing and db sync is working

I would not need that in production

if its just for development, why not just click wipe volume in the volume settings?

i deploy a lot within my shell

rarely use the dashboard

gotcha

thanks

can't find volume id

open the volume and the id is in the url

it worked and also

yes, there is no wipe option

so this just removes the volume entirely?

yep

silly question, now that I wiped the volume it removed the deployment. Understandable. What do to create a new deployment?

it should not remove the deployment, I just tried it and it redeployed

but simply redeploy it

argh I ran volumeDelete(volumeId: $volumeId) instead of volumeInstanceWipe

but I don't see a volumeInstanceWipe in the schema

it doesnt need to be, use the internal endpoint

that deleted the volume entirely instead of just clearing data

yes, as you mentioned you called the wrong mutation

i couldn't do this without you
