Uninstall

What the uninstaller removes

Running the uninstall script deletes the Core deployment completely:

• All Core containers: linknesis-core, linknesis-core-watchdog, linknesis-nginx, linknesis-db, linknesis-webhook-sender, and linknesis-certbot.
• The linknesis Docker network.
• The linknesis-updater systemd service and timer.
• The Linknesis Core Docker image.
• The entire installation directory, by default /opt/linknesis, which contains:
  • MongoDB data (mongo_data)
  • TLS certificates and Certbot state (certs, certbot)
  • Frontend assets, logs, backups, and the .env file
  • The updater binary and systemd unit files

By default, the base Docker images for MongoDB, Nginx, and Certbot are kept so you do not have to re-download them later. Use the --remove-base-images option to delete those as well.

Before you uninstall

• Back up any data you want to keep. The uninstall script removes the MongoDB database and all configuration permanently.
• Consider stopping Probes first, or be prepared to reinstall them against a new Core later.
• The script must be run as root.

Run the uninstaller

Download and run the uninstall script:

curl -fsSL https://linknesis.com/uninstall_core.sh | sudo bash

The script asks for confirmation before deleting anything. To run it non-interactively (for example, in automation):

curl -fsSL https://linknesis.com/uninstall_core.sh | sudo bash -s -- --yes

To also remove the MongoDB, Nginx, and Certbot base images:

curl -fsSL https://linknesis.com/uninstall_core.sh | sudo bash -s -- --yes --remove-base-images

Options

• --install-dir DIR - use a different installation directory (default: /opt/linknesis).
• --remove-base-images - also remove the mongo:8, nginx:alpine, and certbot/certbot images.
• --yes, -y - skip the confirmation prompt.
• -h, --help - show usage information.

Manual cleanup

If you prefer to remove the stack manually, run the equivalent commands:

cd /opt/linknesis
docker compose down --volumes --remove-orphans
systemctl stop linknesis-updater.timer
systemctl disable linknesis-updater.timer
systemctl stop linknesis-updater.service
systemctl disable linknesis-updater.service
rm -f /etc/systemd/system/linknesis-updater.*
systemctl daemon-reload
docker network rm linknesis
rm -rf /opt/linknesis
