docker-compose stop keycloak && docker-compose stop postgres

# remove any database files
rm -rf volumes/postgres/data/db/*

# restart postgres
docker-compose start postgres

# ./scripts/restore-postgres-backups.sh <Relative path to backup file>
./scripts/restore-postgres-backups.sh backups/dump-2019-09-26_21_22_20.sql

# restart keycloak
docker-compose start keycloak
```
