Uninstall the Server

TIP

Docker deployments: remove the container with docker compose down / docker rm -f nodeflare. The host mount directory (/etc/nodeflare in the examples) is preserved; see Docker Deployment for data cleanup.

Keep config and data (stops and removes the service only).

Linux / macOS:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elysia62/NodeFlare/main/install.sh | sudo sh -s -- --uninstall

FreeBSD:

fetch -qo - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elysia62/NodeFlare/main/install.sh | sudo sh -s -- --uninstall

To delete config and data as well, append --purge:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elysia62/NodeFlare/main/install.sh | sudo sh -s -- --uninstall --purge

Windows PowerShell (Administrator):

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elysia62/NodeFlare/main/install.ps1 -OutFile "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-install.ps1"
Unblock-File "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-install.ps1"

& "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-install.ps1" -Uninstall          # keep config and data
& "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-install.ps1" -Uninstall -Purge   # delete config and data

WARNING

--purge / -Purge deletes everything under the config directory, including the SQLite database, themes, and backups. To keep your data, export a backup from the Database page first — see Database & Backups.

Uninstalling also removes the registered service (systemd / OpenRC / launchd / FreeBSD rc / Windows scheduled task). Program and data paths per platform are in Platforms & Paths.

Uninstall the Agent

The agent install scripts accept --uninstall (-Uninstall on Windows). Linux example:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elysia62/NodeFlare/main/agent/agent.sh \
  | sudo sh -s -- --uninstall

Windows PowerShell (Administrator):

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elysia62/NodeFlare/main/agent/install.ps1 -OutFile "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-agent-install.ps1"
Unblock-File "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-agent-install.ps1"
& "$env:TEMP\nodeflare-agent-install.ps1" -Uninstall

Afterwards the node stops reporting and can be deleted from the Servers page. Agent program and state paths are in Platforms & Paths.
