How to Remove QueryPie ACP Community Edition

Overview

To completely remove QueryPie ACP, you must delete the containers, data directories, and log files in order. Some files are created by the container process as root, so sudo (administrator privileges) is required.

Removal Procedure

Step 1: Stop/Remove Containers and Networks

current is a symbolic link to the installation version path.


cd ~/querypie/current ## This is an example when installed under the home directory.
docker compose --profile querypie --profile database down -v

--profile querypie: includes app container
--profile database: includes mysql, redis containers
-v: also removes connected Docker volumes

Expected output:


Container querypie-app-1 Stopped
Container querypie-mysql-1 Stopped
Container querypie-redis-1 Stopped
Network querypie_app Removed
Network querypie_database Removed

Step 2: Delete Installation Directory and Log Files

The ~/querypie/log/ and ~/querypie/mysql/ directories contain files created as root by the container, so they must be deleted with sudo.


cd ~ ## This is an example when installed under the home directory.
sudo rm -rf ~/querypie ~/querypie-install.log ~/querypie-migrate*.log

Step 3: Clean Up Remaining Docker Volumes (Optional)

QueryPie volumes have already been deleted by docker compose down -v, but check if there are any remaining volumes.


docker volume ls

If any QueryPie-related volumes (starting with querypie_) remain, delete them individually.


docker volume rm <volume name>

Verify Removal


## Confirm no containers exist
docker ps -a
 
## Confirm no directories exist
ls ~ | grep querypie || echo "querypie not found"

Notes

-v flag: docker compose down -v also deletes the MySQL data volume. If you want to preserve the data, run without -v.
Running rm -rf ~/querypie without sudo will cause permission errors in the log/mysql directories. You must delete with administrator privileges.

The above process does not delete docker images. To also remove images, additionally run the following commands.


## Check the list of QueryPie-related images
docker images | grep querypie
 
## Delete after confirmation
docker rmi querypie/querypie:<installed version> querypie/querypie-tools:<installed version> querypie/mysql:<installed version> querypie/redis:<installed version>
