nself reset

Stop containers and remove generated configuration files.

Synopsis

nself reset [flags]

Description

nself reset stops running containers and removes all files generated by nself build: docker-compose.yml, nginx site configs, SSL certificate files, and .env.computed. Your .env and all .env.* variant files are preserved, as are your data/ and volumes/ directories.

After nself reset, run nself build to regenerate configuration and nself start to restart the stack. This is the recommended way to apply a fresh build after making significant configuration changes.

Hard reset (--hard --confirm) goes further and also removes .env itself. This is a complete project teardown, use it only when you intend to run nself init again from scratch.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
`--hard`	false	Also remove `.env` (requires `--confirm`)
`--confirm`	false	Confirm destructive `--hard` reset
`--no-monorepo`	false	Disable automatic monorepo backend detection
`--help`, `-h`	none	Show help

`ssl/` certificate files	Removed	Removed
