If you're using Coolify Cloud ↗, 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 ↗ 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:

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:

sh
sudo docker stop -t 0 coolify coolify-realtime coolify-db coolify-redis coolify-proxy
sudo docker rm coolify coolify-realtime coolify-db coolify-redis coolify-proxy

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:

sh
sudo docker volume rm coolify-db coolify-redis

CAUTION!!

Removing volumes will delete all data stored in them permanently. Ensure you have backups if needed.

3. Remove Docker Network ​

Coolify uses a custom Docker network named coolify. Remove it with the following command:

sh
sudo docker network rm coolify

Info

If you encounter an error indicating the network is in use, ensure that no containers are using the network before retrying.

4. Delete Coolify Data Directory ​

Remove the directory where Coolify stores its data on your server:

sh
  sudo rm -rf /data/coolify

CAUTION!

This will permanently delete all Coolify-related data. Double-check the directory path before executing this command.

5. Remove Docker Images ​

To free up disk space, remove all Docker images used by Coolify by running the following commands:

sh
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:

sh
sudo docker rmi traefik:v3.1

If you switched to the Caddy proxy, remove its image instead:

sh
sudo docker rmi lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy:2.8-alpine

Coolify Successfully Uninstalled ​

After completing these steps, Coolify and all its related resources will be completely removed from your server.
