Uninstall Pluggable Components from KubeSphere 3.2.x

After you enable the pluggable components of KubeSphere, you can also uninstall them by performing the following steps. Please back up any necessary data before you uninstall these components.

Note

The methods of uninstalling certain pluggable components on KubeSphere 3.2.x are different from the methods on KubeSphere v3.0.0. For more information about the uninstallation methods on KubeSphere v3.0.0, see Uninstall Pluggable Components from KubeSphere.

Prerequisites

You have to change the value of the field enabled from true to false in ks-installer of the CRD ClusterConfiguration before you uninstall any pluggable components except Service Topology and Pod IP Pools.

Use either of the following methods to change the value of the field enabled:

Run the following command to edit ks-installer:

kubectl -n kubesphere-system edit clusterconfiguration ks-installer

Log in to the KubeSphere web console as admin, click Platform in the upper-left corner and select Cluster Management, and then go to CRDs to search for ClusterConfiguration. For more information, see Enable Pluggable Components.

Note

After the value is changed, you need to wait until the updating process is complete before you continue with any further operations.

Uninstall KubeSphere App Store

Change the value of openpitrix.store.enabled from true to false in ks-installer of the CRD ClusterConfiguration.

Uninstall KubeSphere DevOps

To uninstall DevOps:

helm uninstall -n kubesphere-devops-system devops
kubectl patch -n kubesphere-system cc ks-installer --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/status/devops"}]'
kubectl patch -n kubesphere-system cc ks-installer --type=json -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/devops/enabled", "value": false}]'

To delete DevOps resources:

# Remove all resources related with DevOps
for devops_crd in $(kubectl get crd -o=jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\n"}{end}' | grep "devops.kubesphere.io"); do
    for ns in $(kubectl get ns -ojsonpath='{.items..metadata.name}'); do
        for devops_res in $(kubectl get $devops_crd -n $ns -oname); do
            kubectl patch $devops_res -n $ns -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":[]}}' --type=merge
        done
    done
done
# Remove all DevOps CRDs
kubectl get crd -o=jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\n"}{end}' | grep "devops.kubesphere.io" | xargs -I crd_name kubectl delete crd crd_name
# Remove DevOps namespace
kubectl delete namespace kubesphere-devops-system

Uninstall KubeSphere Logging

Change the value of logging.enabled from true to false in ks-installer of the CRD ClusterConfiguration.
To disable only log collection:
```
kubectl delete inputs.logging.kubesphere.io -n kubesphere-logging-system tail
```
Note

After running this command, you can still view the container recent logs provided by Kubernetes by default. However, the container history logs will be cleared and you cannot browse them any more.

kubectl delete crd fluentbits.logging.kubesphere.io
kubectl delete crd inputs.logging.kubesphere.io
kubectl delete crd outputs.logging.kubesphere.io
kubectl delete crd parsers.logging.kubesphere.io
kubectl delete deployments.apps -n kubesphere-logging-system fluentbit-operator
helm uninstall elasticsearch-logging --namespace kubesphere-logging-system

Warning
