How to write down a bash script to **Completely Uninstall OpenPanel** from My Ubuntu Server?

  • 772

I encountered a critical system error while using OpenPanel on my Ubuntu server. After some investigation, I discovered that the current version of OpenPanel (v0.2.7) is still in the process of troubleshooting HTTPS protocol, DNS allocation, and certificate management.

The issue arose when I attempted to use these beta features. After installation, the OpenPanel website went down, and I couldn’t bring it back up using the command:

opencli admin on

I have been struggling to uninstall OpenPanel from my system. Unfortunately, the support team was not able to provide a clear solution. They mentioned that I need to manually reverse the steps in the installation bash script, which seems impractical and error-prone. (Super sad but during my troubleshooting efforts, I also faced a Docker crash error, which has further complicated the situation.)

Does anyone have a reliable method to completely uninstall OpenPanel from an Ubuntu server?

I tried below method, but didn't work.

nano fix.sh && bash fix.sh

Then pasted this content:

#!/bin/bash

service admin stop
rm -rf /usr/local/admin/.git

rm -rf /usr/local/admin/*

current_python_version=$(python3 --version 2>&1 | cut -d " " -f 2 | cut -d "." -f 1,2 | tr -d '.')
OPENPADMIN_DIR="/usr/local/admin/" #openadmin files


    if [ -f /etc/os-release ] && grep -q "Ubuntu 22" /etc/os-release; then   
        echo "Downloading files for Ubuntu22 and python version $current_python_version"
        git clone -b $current_python_version --single-branch https://github.com/stefanpejcic/openadmin $OPENPADMIN_DIR
        cd $OPENPADMIN_DIR
         pip install --default-timeout=3600 -r requirements.txt
    # Ubuntu 24
    elif [ -f /etc/os-release ] && grep -q "Ubuntu 24" /etc/os-release; then
        echo "Downloading files for Ubuntu24 and python version $current_python_version"
        git clone -b $current_python_version --single-branch https://github.com/stefanpejcic/openadmin $OPENPADMIN_DIR
        cd $OPENPADMIN_DIR
         pip install --default-timeout=3600 -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages

        # on ubuntu24 we need to use overlay instead of devicemapper!
        OVERLAY=true
        
    # Debian12 and 11
    elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
        echo "Installing PIP and Git"
        apt-get install git pip python3-yaml -y > /dev/null 2>&1
        echo "Downloading files for Debian and python version $current_python_version"
        git clone -b debian-$current_python_version --single-branch https://github.com/stefanpejcic/openadmin $OPENPADMIN_DIR
        cd $OPENPADMIN_DIR
         pip install --default-timeout=3600 -r requirements.txt
         pip install --default-timeout=3600 -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages
    # other

    To address this, I created an uninstall script that effectively removes OpenPanel and its components from my Ubuntu server. Here’s the script I used:

    #!/bin/bash

echo "Uninstalling OpenPanel..."

sudo -i

cd /root && docker compose down
docker rmi -f mysql/mysql-server openpanel/openpanel nginx:alpine certbot/certbot:latest ubuntu/bind9:latest openpanel/nginx openpanel/apache 

rm ~/docker-compose.yml
rm ~/initialize.sql

echo "Removing cron job..."
if [ -f /etc/cron.d/openpanel ]; then
    rm /etc/cron.d/openpanel
else
    echo "No cron job found for OpenPanel."
fi

echo "Removing OpenPanel directory..."
rm -r /usr/local/panel

echo "Stopping and disabling admin service..."
systemctl stop admin
systemctl disable admin
rm /etc/systemd/system/admin.service
rm -r /usr/local/admin

echo "Removing OpenCLI..."
rm /usr/local/bin/opencli
sed -i '/# opencli aliases/,+3d' ~/.bashrc
hash -d opencli || echo "No opencli command found."

echo "Removing OpenPanel configuration..."
rm -r /etc/openpanel

echo "Uninstallation complete."

    After running this script, I was able to completely remove OpenPanel from my system. If anyone else is facing similar issues, I hope this script helps you uninstall OpenPanel effectively.

    Troubleshooting Tips

    • If you encounter any errors or if certain commands fail, try running the script with sudo privileges and making the script executable with chmod +x uninstall.sh.

    • Ensure that you are running the script from the correct directory or provide the full path to the docker-compose.yml file.

    • If you still face issues with Docker, try restarting the Docker service or checking its logs for more information.

    Update from OpenPanel Community Administrator:

    techguru0, I appreciate the time you took into creating this and that you decided to share it, thank you!

    I would also just add removing all logs:

    rm -rf /var/log/openpanel

    and the install log from /root.

    And a few leftover services:

    # Floating IP

service floatingip stop 
systemctl disable floatingip
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/floatingip.service 

# Logrotate

rm -rf /etc/logrotate.d/openpanel
rm -rf /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

systemctl daemon-reload

    Also, UFW/CSF is added by OpenPanel and these:

    packages=("docker.io" "default-mysql-client" "python3-pip" "pip" "gunicorn" "jc" "sqlite3" "geoip-bin" "xfsprogs")

    By following these steps, you can ensure a cleaner uninstallation process and avoid potential issues with leftover configurations. Thanks to Stefan for sharing this valuable information!
