XM Cloud - Docker Reset Local Script

Summary

As developers we are often faced with supporting many projects at a time. Occasionally, I would have to spin up an older project outside of Docker and would have to stop IIS or SQL services as well when I switched back to my Docker projects. I found myself running the same commands over and over every time I switched projects.

I decided to put them all together in one reset.ps1 script.

In my example below, we are using the Sitecore XM Cloud Starter Repository (opens in a new tab), which includes many of the referenced scripts below. However, this is all applicable in non XM cloud projects as well.

The Solution

From the root directory create anew PowerShell script called reset.ps1 and place the following in it:

#stop iis
iisreset /stop

#stop solr
Get-service *SOLR* | stop-service -force

#stop SQL server
Get-service SQLAgent* | stop-service -force
Get-service MSSQL$* | stop-service -force

#docker down
.\down.ps1

#remove persistent data
cd .\docker\
.\clean.ps1

#docker up
cd ..
.\up.ps1

Next time you switch between projects and want a clean start run the reset.ps1 script from the base directory.

Conclusion

This handy script can make your life a little easier when switching projects.
