Trying to bring up a machine after deleting its volume

hey Kent, this error occurs because you had a cluster before and when you deleted the cluster, it lost its cluster ID. The cluster ID is meant to uniquely identify your cluster so you don’t accidentally point two separate clusters to the same Consul key and wipe one out.

We have some instructions on how to clear the cluster ID on Consul here: Disaster Recovery from LiteFS Cloud · Fly Docs

The easiest approach is to just change the Consul key that you’re using for your cluster though. You can change that in your litefs.yml file with the lease.consul.key field. The trickier way is to install Consul CLI and remove the key yourself.

We will provide an easier way to reset this in the future.
