Can you bring back decommissioned devices?

[Cody Martin]

I decommissioned a device and would like to bring it back. I tried following the instructions on flushing the decommissioned devices from the db on the server troubleshooting page but i get this error.

$ sudo docker-compose exec mender-device-auth /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

ERROR: No container found for mender-device-auth_1

Also when i enable tty on that image and run

 

sudo docker exec menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1 /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup 

it looks like its trying to start, that this maintenance command isnt an option to /deviceauth

when i do 

 sudo docker exec menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1 /usr/bin/deviceauth --help

i dont see a "maintenance" option.  just server, migrate, and help.. 

so maybe the troubleshooting docs need updating?

regardless, i still need a way to bring back decommissioned devices.

I see. 1.4 documentation does not match the 1.4 deviceauth code.. looks like maintenance was introduced in 1.5. so how do i flush decommissioned devices from the db in 1.4 so i can

Did you get a solution? I am also looking for process/way to cleanup / flush decommissioned devices from the db.

Thanks

No. They added a way in 1.5. It’s in the troubleshooting guide. I’m using 1.4 so it wasn’t working for me. 

I was able to log into the mongo container and run some cleanup commands on the mongo db manually but I wouldn’t suggest it for a production db.
