Remove Meshery as a Docker Extension

If you want to remove Meshery as a Docker extension from your system, follow these steps:

  1. Stop Meshery Container:

    • First, stop the running Meshery container (if it’s currently running) using the following Docker command:
    
 
    
 docker stop meshery-container 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker stop meshery-container

  2. Remove Meshery Container:

    • After stopping the container, you can remove it using the following command:
    
 
    
 docker rm meshery-container 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker rm meshery-container

  3. Remove Meshery Images:

    • Meshery might have pulled Docker images for its components. You can remove these images using the docker rmi command. Replace the image names with the actual ones you want to remove:
    
 
    
 docker rmi meshery/meshery:latest 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker rmi meshery/meshery:latest
 
    
 
    

    
 
    
 docker rmi meshery/adapters:latest 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker rmi meshery/adapters:latest

    …and so on for other Meshery-related images

  4. Remove Meshery Volumes (if necessary):

    • Meshery may have created Docker volumes to persist data. You can list and remove these volumes using the docker volume ls and docker volume rm commands. For example:
    
 
    
 docker volume ls 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker volume ls
 
    
 
    

    
 
    
 docker volume rm meshery-data-volume 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker volume rm meshery-data-volume

    …remove other Meshery-related volumes if present

  5. Remove Docker Network (if necessary):

    • If Meshery created a custom Docker network, you can remove it using the docker network rm command. For example:
    
 
    
 docker network rm meshery-network 
 
    
 
    
 
    
   docker network rm meshery-network

  6. Clean Up Configuration (optional):

    • If Meshery created configuration files or directories on your host machine, you can remove them manually if you no longer need them.
