Front-end Console services

Deployed as Docker containers on Linux

When the front-end services are installed as Docker containers and you want to completely remove all trace of Console, perform the following actions. First move to the location where the docker-compose.yml file is stored, for example:

cd /CAST/CONSOLE

Now run the following docker commands with elevated permissions:

# Stop all containers and remove all containers, networks, volumes, and images created by the up command:
docker-compose down

# Remove all unused local volumes created by the up command, e.g. "restapi-domains" (for embedded Dashboards) and "db-data" (for the PostgreSQL instance):
docker volume prune

# Remove all unused containers, networks, images (both dangling and unreferenced), and optionally, volumes:
docker system prune -a

Deployed as Docker containers on Microsoft Windows

Stop all containers:

Delete the containers:

Remove the volumes "restapi-domains" (for embedded Dashboards) and "db-data" (for the PostgreSQL instance):
