This CMS is a very good, but a lot of things modified. As difficult installation, modification, and so the addition of a plugin and etc.
I want uninstall my discourse website? Which command do I have to write for that?
Iām not sure what you are asking? Are you looking to wipe the content of the forum?
rm -r /var/discourse
Will delete Discourse and all backups and everything. Iām not clear why not just shut down the droplet, though.

I want remove delete discourse cms from my website. How delete docker and discourse?
Edit: I just checked, and if you installed Docker with the http://get.docker.comās script and are running Ubuntu,
apt-get purge docker-engine
should remove docker. Youāll probably need to reboot to make sure all docker processes get killed.

In short: whatever you did to get Discourse running, do the reverse of that.

If you want to completely remove discourse:
- List you local docker images from the host:
docker images - Find the discourse image. It should look something like
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE discourse/discourse 1.3.10 95332d4db04b 5 weeks ago 1.52GB - Remove the image:
docker image rm discourse/discourse:1.3.10. Remember to use the exact same name and version your docker output showed you. - Remove the location you cloned the discourse. If you followed the installation instructions, it should be /var/discourse, so
rm -r /var/discourseshould do it. - [optional]. If you donāt need docker anymore, remove it from your machine.

Very good commands. I too was wondering for them.
2 small things:
I received the msg "Unable to remove repository reference āimage nameā (must force) container iccfa6e6d14b is using its referenced image 654a4f02e531.
-
How can we stop the image from being used? If we turned off the droplet, then console wouldnāt work.
-
Is docker a separate thing from underlying Ubuntu Server OS?
Thanks.
If you destroy the droplet then discourse is gone with it, so none of this matters, butā¦
I think you need to do a
docker stop app
Or
. /launcher stop app
Before you can remove the image

Thanks again.
But I wished if you could also answer my 2nd question, which I believe must almost be a single line answer.
Iāve googled to know this answer for around 1 hour.
And Iāve read this whole discussion on this topic on meta, here.
But I couldnāt understand.
I could repeat my dilemma:
Whether it is such that
There is Ubuntu OS, and then there is a normal docker installation in it/on it.
And in that docker installation there is Discourse docker running?
Or its simply Ubuntu Server OS and Discourse Docker installed/running in it?
Or it is not called āDiscourse Dockerā but something else?
P.S: I also tried to understand the same thru this long topic post. But it just fell short of telling my query (almost did, but just not).
Yes. You have Ubuntu as the OS, then Docker as an application installed in the OS, and Discourse running on top of Docker.
Docker creates the possibility to isolate applications in containers (letās simplify it as a light weight Virtual Machine), where you can run multiple applications without messing up the OS

I removed the docker data container (and perhaps web_only also), but still, when I reinstall/recreate the data container the same admin/users (and settings) appear.
I wanted a clean slate to install discourse fresh. Do I DO need to uninstall docker for that? Or the remove full /var/discourse folder?
Isnāt there some one folder or place, which should hold its data and removal of which could remove all the discourse settings, users, admins, and posts?
Thanks.
rm - rf /var/discourse/shared
Then rebuild. Thatās where the persistent volumes are kept by default.
