Background
Sometimes it’s necessary to uninstall completely, and reinstall when testing software. This is something I have been doing with podman on RHEL 7.6 since about 6AM today 🙂 I figured it was worth capturing the instructions I have developed while testing user namespaces and rootless containers. This could make your life easier too.
Complete Uninstall
Run the following commands:
|
1 2 |
rm -rf /etc/containers/* /var/lib/containers/* /etc/docker /etc/subuid* /etc/subgid* yum remove buildah skopeo podman containers-common atomic-registries docker |
Remember to delete any users and their associated containers storage:
|
1 |
rm -rf /home/fatherlinux/.local/share/containers/ |
Or:
|
1 |
userdel -r fatherlinux |
Fresh Install
Run the following commands:
|
1 |
yum install podman buildah skopeo |
