Clean up database and create bulk package (forgotten)

[ryoken95]

Hello,

following major changes to our infrastructure, I want to clean up the server database.

I want to delete all workstations to start with a clean database.

Is there a command for this? My server is running Debian.

Also, could you explain how to perform a bulk package deletion?


Thank you in advance for your help

Good morning,

To clean up your server database and start from scratch, you can remove all workstations from the inventory; on the next reboot, they will reappear in the WAPT inventory.

Note: unless you delete the machine packages in /var/www/wapt-host, the machines will retrieve their machine package and their dependencies.

For a more radical solution, stop the waptserver and mongodb services, delete the hosts wapt database from mongodb, and then restart the mongodb and waptserver services

Code: Select all

systemctl stop waptserver
mongo
> use wapt; 
> db.dropDatabase();
systemctl start waptserver

Regarding a "bulk forgetting" package, is that for the dependency list on each machine?

In this case, it is better to remove the machine packages on the server side and force their update, which will clear the dependency list for each machine.

To clean up the packages, which must be done manually using uninstallation calls, see our documentation: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/CreationPaqu ... aquet-wapt
