Appendix C - Reset NEO privatenet Environment: Container, Wallets, and Clients

Purpose

The purpose of this section is to document how to reset your NEO privatenet environment: container and clients; for example, when you run out of gas.

Goals, Non-Goals and Assumptions

• Being able to reset your NEO privatenet environment as quickly as possible

Principles

• Provide reliable documentation: timely, accurate, visual, and complete
• Save as much of a person's time as possible
• Use open source software whenever possible

Drivers

• Need in the NEO .NET developer community to have concise and easy-to-follow documentation to enable people to get up to speed developing NEO smart contracts in as short a time as possible

Stop all of your NEO Client apps

1. Stop all of your NEO client apps that may be using the NEO Docker container (e.g. neo-cli, neo-gui, ...).

Reset your NEO privatenet Docker container

2. Reset the the NEO Docker container by running the following script:

   docker container list
   docker stop neo-privnet-with-gas
   docker container list
   docker rm neo-privnet-with-gas
   docker container list
   docker run -d --name neo-privnet-with-gas -p 20333-20336:20333-20336/tcp -p 30333-30336:30333-30336/tcp metachris/neo-privnet-with-gas
   docker container list
   pause
   

   Script: NEO Docker Restart (./scripts/neodockerreset.bat.txt)

Reset your NEO privatenet wallets

3. Delete all of your wallets you used with the NEO privatenet. They will need to be recreated anyway.

NOTE: Be very careful to only delete wallets used with the NEO privatenet - not your mainnet wallets.

NOTE: Rather than delete your wallet files, consider moving them to a subfolder (e.g. folder wallets-old).

Reset your NEO privatenet clients

4. Delete all of your client app's blockchain database folders.
5. Delete all of your client app's peers.dat files.
6. If it is a Visual Studio development project, delete the entire bin/Debug folder.

Start your NEO privatenet client apps

7. After the preceding tasks are complete, the reset is complete. You can rebuild/start your NEO privatenet client apps.
