Operations¶

Every command below starts with docker compose --env-file core/backend/.env. Add -f docker-compose.dev.yml when operating on the development topology.

Migrations¶

docker compose --env-file core/backend/.env exec backend python manage.py migrate

New Core and plugin migrations are checked for destructive operations before merging. These include dropping a column or table, or making a field non-nullable without a default. For a reviewed maintenance-mode change, mark the flagged operation inline with the required justification comment.

Logs¶

docker compose --env-file core/backend/.env logs -f

Shutdown¶

docker compose --env-file core/backend/.env down

Add -f docker-compose.dev.yml for the development topology.

For version changes, behavior changes, and the rollback boundary, follow Upgrade an Atlas distribution. Release-specific behavior belongs on that page, not here.

Resetting local data¶

docker compose --env-file core/backend/.env down --volumes
