Quick answer: Anwendung stoppen, Daten sichern, Docker oder native Installation erkennen und Code, Daten, Geheimnisse und gemeinsame Modelle getrennt behandeln.

Contents

Es gibt keinen universellen Deinstallationsbefehl. Trennen Sie Code, Volumes, Datenbank, Dateien, Zugangsdaten und Ollama-Modelle. Das offizielle Repository wurde am 19. Juli 2026 ohne verifizierbare Releases oder Tags geprüft.

Vor dem Löschen

Record how Odysseus was started and back up documents, notes, exports, database files, and settings outside the repository.

Richtigen Pfad wählen

Use the Docker path when docker compose ps shows Odysseus services. Use the native path when launch scripts or manual Python/frontend commands ran on the host.

Path Remove first Keep unless intentional
Docker Compose Containers and network Volumes, mounts, Ollama models
Native scripts Processes and repository Shared runtimes and tools
Privacy reset App data and copied secrets Verified non-secret notes

Docker Compose entfernen

Run docker compose down first. It removes containers and networks while normally preserving named volumes. Use docker compose down -v only after inspecting and backing up persistent data.

Native Installation entfernen

Stop backend and frontend processes, then remove the cloned repository. Delete only Odysseus-specific startup tasks, services, shortcuts, or firewall rules; keep shared Python, Node, Git, Docker, and Ollama tools when other projects need them.

Shared system tools and Ollama should be removed separately.

Daten auswählen

Treat repository code, database/uploads, .env secrets, logs, Docker volumes, bind mounts, and Ollama models as separate data groups. Privacy cleanup should also check backups and the recycle bin.

Deinstallation prüfen

Confirm the former local URL no longer responds, no project container or process remains, and the repository is deleted or archived. Reinstall from the current official repository and active branch documentation.

  1. Stop

    Stop the application and related containers or processes.

  2. Remove

    Delete only the selected code and data groups.

  3. Verify

    Check URL, port, containers, processes, volumes, and path.

  4. Reinstall

    Clone the official repository and follow active branch docs.

FAQ

Normally no. Ollama stores models separately; remove them only if no other tool needs them.

It normally keeps named volumes. The -v option requests volume deletion.

Yes, after stopping the app and backing up needed data outside it.

The official repository does not package a separate agent product; remove module configuration or the whole deployment.

Yes. Keep non-secret notes about ports, deployment method, and model endpoint.
