Where does Hyperledger Fabric store the database for the Blockchain [closed]

Question

I have hyperledger fabric network setup on my local machine with a single validating node. I am developing a chaincode and would like to clear my blockchain. I have read that the hyperledger fabric stores the database under /var/hyperledger. However, I do not see this hyperledger directory under /var. Is there another location for this directory? My development platform is MAC and I am using docker-compose to start my hyperledger fabric network.

Answer 1

The Hyperledger Fabric stores the database in /var/hyperledger/production/db within the file system for the validating peer. Navigation to the validating peer file system can be done by using a command like docker exec -it substitute_container_name bash.  You can follow the instructions at https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmblockchain/fabric-peer/ for using Hyperledger Docker images, then the database location should be /var/hyperledger/production/db.
