Chapter 6. Uninstalling CodeReady Workspaces

This section describes uninstallation procedures for Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces. The uninstallation process leads to a complete removal of CodeReady Workspaces-related user data. The method previously used to install the CodeReady Workspaces instance determines the uninstallation method.

6.1. Uninstalling CodeReady Workspaces after OperatorHub installation using the OpenShift web console

This section describes how to uninstall CodeReady Workspaces from a cluster using the OpenShift Administrator Perspective main menu.

Prerequisites

  • CodeReady Workspaces was installed on an OpenShift cluster using OperatorHub.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the OpenShift web console and select the Administrator Perspective.
  2. In the Home > Projects section, navigate to the project containing the CodeReady Workspaces instance.

    Note

    The default project name is <openshift-workspaces>.

  3. In the Operators > Installed Operators section, click Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces in the list of installed operators.
  4. In the Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces Cluster tab, click the displayed Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces Cluster, and select the Delete cluster option in the Actions drop-down menu on the top right.

  6. In the Home > Projects section, navigate to the project containing the CodeReady Workspaces instance, and select the Delete Project option in the Actions drop-down menu on the top right.

6.2. Uninstalling CodeReady Workspaces after OperatorHub installation using OpenShift CLI

This section provides instructions on how to uninstall a CodeReady Workspaces instance using oc commands.

Prerequisites

  • CodeReady Workspaces was installed on an OpenShift cluster using OperatorHub.
  • The oc tool is available.

Procedure

The following procedure provides command-line outputs as examples. Note that output in the user terminal may differ.

To uninstall a CodeReady Workspaces instance from a cluster:

  1. Sign in to the cluster:

    $ oc login -u <username> -p <password> <cluster_URL>
  2. Switch to the project where the CodeReady Workspaces instance is deployed:

    $ oc project <codeready-workspaces_project>
  3. Obtain the checluster Custom Resource name. The following shows a checluster Custom Resource named codeready-workspaces:

    $ oc get checluster
    NAME          AGE
    codeready-workspaces   27m
  4. Delete the CodeReady Workspaces cluster:

    $ oc delete checluster codeready-workspaces
    checluster.org.eclipse.che "codeready-workspaces" deleted
  5. Obtain the name of the CodeReady Workspaces cluster service version (CSV) module. The following detects a CSV module named codeready.v2.14:

    $ oc get csv
    NAME                 DISPLAY       VERSION   REPLACES             PHASE
    codeready.v2.14   Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces   2.14     codeready.v2.13   Succeeded
  6. Delete the CodeReady Workspaces CSV:

    $ oc delete csv codeready.v2.14
    clusterserviceversion.operators.coreos.com "codeready.v2.14" deleted

6.3. Uninstalling CodeReady Workspaces after crwctl installation

This section describes how to uninstall an instance of Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces that was installed using the crwctl tool.

Prerequisites

  • The crwctl tool is available.
  • The oc tool is available.
  • The crwctl tool installed the CodeReady Workspaces instance on OpenShift.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the OpenShift cluster:

    $ oc login -u <username> -p <password> <cluster_URL>
  2. Export the name of the CodeReady Workspaces namespace to remove:

    $ export codereadyNamespace=<codeready-namespace-to-remove>
  3. Export your user access token and Keycloak URLs:

    $ export KEYCLOAK_BASE_URL="http://$KEYCLOAK_URL/auth"
    $ export USER_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -X POST $KEYCLOAK_BASE_URL/realms/codeready/protocol/openid-connect/token \
                           -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
                           -d "username=admin" \
                           -d "password=admin" \
                           -d "grant_type=password" \
                           -d "client_id=codeready-public" | jq -r .access_token)
  4. Stop the server using the UAT:

    $ crwctl/bin/crwctl server:stop -n "$codereadyNamespace" --access-token=$USER_ACCESS_TOKEN
  5. Delete your project and your CodeReady Workspaces deployment:

    $ oc project "$codereadyNamespace"
    $ oc delete deployment codeready-operator
    $ oc delete checluster codeready-workspaces
    $ oc delete project "$codereadyNamespace"
  6. Verify that the removal was successful by listing the information about the project:

    $ oc describe project "$codereadyNamespace"
  7. Remove a specified ClusterRoleBinding:

    $ oc delete clusterrolebinding codeready-operator
