1. Stop all running containers:

   $ docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down -v

:::cautiion WARNING -v will delete the docker container volumes, and the existing data will be cleared. :::

1. Set DOC_ENGINE in docker/.env to infinity.

2. Start the containers:

   $ docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
