Getting Started
Uninstalling Kaya
Remove Kaya containers while retaining or deliberately deleting persistent data.
Stop and remove containers
From the Kaya deployment directory:
docker compose down
This removes the Compose containers and network. It does not delete the bind-mounted data/ and uploads/ directories.
Retain data for later use
Keep data/, uploads/, the Compose configuration and a verified backup. Protect data/.runtime.env; it is required to decrypt stored values when reinstalling.
To remove a locally cached image after the data decision, first identify the exact configured image with docker compose images, then use docker image rm IMAGE:TAG. Removing the image does not remove bind-mounted data.
