Redownload files

[Elycoo]

Hi,
I was increasing the volume of my server and I had to clear some space, so I delete some of the mp3 files of my podcast.

Anyway, now I want to redownload the files again. I was thinking that it would redownload the files automatically but it doesn't.

How can I trigger podsync to download the missing files?

Try removing the db directory on your config path, then restart podsync. This will reset the download history database.

Thanks, I was afraid to try this without a recommendation from someone.

Sorry but where's the config path with docker? I am always wondering how to rebuild the database.

By default the db directory is created at the same directory of the config file. If you are using the Docker image following the steps in README, the db directory (i.e. /app/db inside the container) is not in a volume and hence does not persist. So I guess simply restarting the container throws away the db directory.

Thanks. I may need to do docker rm to throw away the db because with a simple restart it is kept.
