<br />
If you're using [Coolify Cloud](https://coolify.io/pricing/), you don't need to uninstall Coolify since the Coolify Team manages everything on their servers.
To stop using Coolify Cloud, simply visit the [Billing page](https://app.coolify.io/subscription/) and cancel your subscription.
For those who **self-host** Coolify and wish to remove it from your server, follow the steps below to uninstall it safely:
- [Stop and Remove Containers](#_1-stop-and-remove-containers)
- [Remove Docker Volumes](#_2-remove-docker-volumes)
- [Remove Docker Network](#_3-remove-docker-network)
- [Delete Coolify Data Directory](#_4-delete-coolify-data-directory)
- [Remove Docker Images](#_5-remove-docker-images)
## 1. Stop and Remove Containers
Stop all Coolify-related Docker containers and remove them to free up system resources.
Run the following commands in your terminal:
```bash
sudo docker stop -t 0 coolify coolify-realtime coolify-db coolify-redis coolify-proxy coolify-sentinel
sudo docker rm coolify coolify-realtime coolify-db coolify-redis coolify-proxy coolify-sentinel
```
The `-t 0` flag ensures that the containers stop immediately without waiting for a timeout.
## 2. Remove Docker Volumes
To remove the persistent data stored in Docker volumes for Coolify, run:
```bash
sudo docker volume rm coolify-db coolify-redis
```
<Callout type="error" title="CAUTION!!">
Removing volumes will delete all data stored in them permanently. Ensure you have backups if needed.
</Callout>
## 3. Remove Docker Network
Coolify uses a custom Docker network named coolify. Remove it with the following command:
```bash
sudo docker network rm coolify
```
<Callout type="info" title="Info">
If you encounter an error indicating the network is in use, ensure that no containers are using the network before retrying.
</Callout>
## 4. Delete Coolify Data Directory
Remove the directory where Coolify stores its data on your server:
```bash
sudo rm -rf /data/coolify
```
<Callout type="error" title="CAUTION!">
This will permanently delete all Coolify-related data. Double-check the directory path before executing this command.
</Callout>
## 5. Remove Docker Images
To free up disk space, remove all Docker images used by Coolify by running the following commands:
```bash
sudo docker rmi ghcr.io/coollabsio/coolify:latest
sudo docker rmi ghcr.io/coollabsio/coolify-helper:latest
sudo docker rmi quay.io/soketi/soketi:1.6-16-alpine
sudo docker rmi postgres:15-alpine
sudo docker rmi redis:alpine
```
If you were using the default proxy, also remove its image:
```bash
sudo docker rmi traefik:v3.1
```
If you switched to the Caddy proxy, remove its image instead:
```bash
sudo docker rmi lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy:2.8-alpine
```
