Hi everyone ,

After having several issues i tried to delete the waypoint server to launch a bran new one.  
However i’m facing the following issue :

> $ waypoint install -platform=docker -accept-tos  
> Detected existing Waypoint server.  
> Retrieving initial auth token…  
> Error getting the initial token: server is already bootstrapped  
> The Waypoint server has been deployed, but due to this error we were  
> unable to automatically configure the local CLI or the Waypoint server  
> advertise address. You must do this manually using “waypoint context”  
> and “waypoint server config-set”.

> $ waypoint context list  
> No contexts. Create one with `waypoint context create`.

Any ideas ?

What may have happened is that you could be using the Docker Volume from the prior deployment. I recommend following the steps in [Troubleshooting docs](https://www.waypointproject.io/docs/troubleshooting#waypoint-server-in-docker) to delete everything from Docker related to Waypoint and trying the installation again. The commands I use are:

```auto
docker stop waypoint-server
docker rm waypoint-server
docker volume rm waypoint-server

```
