How to remove openpanel?

techguru0

Is it possible to clean all the setups, logs, and configurations from my server?

Hello,
as with any other panel the easiest option is to reinstall the OS.

if that is not an option, you can manually remove files and services 1 by 1, but I don't recommend it as it will take you hours to do so...

Open the INSTALL.sh file from here for the version that you installed and then go over line by line and reverse each action.

It doesn't make sense.

Nobody made the solution to remove the dependencies and configurations them all?
Please help me if somebody knows the solution.

After struggling with the beta functionality of OpenPanel, I realized that this project is indeed a game changer for web hosting management. OpenPanel offers a powerful and flexible solution for Linux systems, providing users with a VPS-like experience at a fraction of the cost.

Anyways, to address this, I created an uninstall script that effectively removes OpenPanel and its components from my Ubuntu server. Here’s the script I used:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Uninstalling OpenPanel..."

sudo -i

cd /root && docker compose down
docker rmi -f mysql/mysql-server openpanel/openpanel nginx:alpine certbot/certbot:latest ubuntu/bind9:latest openpanel/nginx openpanel/apache 

rm ~/docker-compose.yml
rm ~/initialize.sql

echo "Removing cron job..."
if [ -f /etc/cron.d/openpanel ]; then
    rm /etc/cron.d/openpanel
else
    echo "No cron job found for OpenPanel."
fi

echo "Removing OpenPanel directory..."
rm -r /usr/local/panel

echo "Stopping and disabling admin service..."
systemctl stop admin
systemctl disable admin
rm /etc/systemd/system/admin.service
rm -r /usr/local/admin

echo "Removing OpenCLI..."
rm /usr/local/bin/opencli
sed -i '/# opencli aliases/,+3d' ~/.bashrc
hash -d opencli || echo "No opencli command found."

echo "Removing OpenPanel configuration..."
rm -r /etc/openpanel

echo "Uninstallation complete."

After running this script, I was able to completely remove OpenPanel from my system. If anyone else is facing similar issues, I hope this script helps you uninstall OpenPanel effectively.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any errors or if certain commands fail, try running
the script with sudo privileges and making the script executable with
chmod +x uninstall.sh.
Ensure that you are running the script from the correct directory
or provide the full path to the docker-compose.yml file.
If you still face issues with Docker, try restarting the Docker
service or checking its logs for more information.

techguru0 appreciate the time you took into creating this and that you decided to share it, thank you!

I would also just add removing all logs:

rm -rf /var/log/openpanel

and the install log from /root

and a few leftover services:

# floating ip

service floatingip stop 
systemctl disable floatingip
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/floatingip.service 

# logrotate

rm -rf /etc/logrotate.d/openpanel
rm -rf  /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

systemctl daemon-reload

also ufw/csf is added by openpanel and these:

packages=("docker.io" "default-mysql-client" "python3-pip" "pip" "gunicorn" "jc" "sqlite3" "geoip-bin" "xfsprogs")

Your advice is amazing! I was exhausted to fix my system fully for around 5 hrs, and then I followed your steps.
It works! Thanks a lot!
