DESCRIBE YOUR PR

The "hard recovery" option in the Offset Out Of Range Error guide indicates that some data will be lost. However, the first instruction is to take down all services with the --volume flag which instructs docker to destroy all named volumes, resulting in total data loss.

The second step to remove just the sentry-kafka volume would be redundant since all volumes have been removed.

This change removes the --volume option so that only the sentry-kafka volume will be removed. I have confirmed this fixed my issue without total data loss.

PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST

Make sure you've checked the following before merging your changes:

  • Checked Vercel preview for correctness, including links
  • PR was reviewed and approved by any necessary SMEs (subject matter experts)
  • PR was reviewed and approved by a member of the Sentry docs team

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.

EXTRA RESOURCES

The "hard recovery" option indicates that some data will be lost.
However, the first instruction is to take down all services with the
`--volume` flag which instructs docker to destroy _all_ named volumes, resulting in total data loss.

The second step to remove just the `sentry-kafka` volume would 
be redundant since all volumes have been removed.

This change removes the `--volume` option so that only the `sentry-kafka` volume will be removed. I have confirmed this
fixed my issue without total data loss.
