Uninstall Enterprise Glossary & Sync Service

To uninstall the Enterprise Glossary and/or the Synchronization service perform the following steps:

Stop the Stack

Before removing any containers or images, stop the running stack first.

Docker (powershell):

CODE

.\stop.ps1
# or manually:
docker compose down

Podman (powershell):

CODE

python -m podman_compose --project-name enterpriseglossary-project down

Remove the Container Images

Once the stack is stopped, remove the loaded images. First list all available images to identify the correct names and tags:

Docker:

CODE

docker images

Podman:

CODE

podman images

Then remove the images:

Docker:

CODE

docker rmi enterpriseglossary:<IMAGE_TAG>
docker rmi enterpriseglossary-sync:<IMAGE_TAG>

Podman:

CODE

podman rmi enterpriseglossary:<IMAGE_TAG>
podman rmi enterpriseglossary-sync:<IMAGE_TAG>

Replace <IMAGE_TAG> with the version tag shown in the image list (e.g. 2026.3.0).

Remove Persistent Data (Optional)

If you also want to delete all persistent application data stored in named volumes, run:

Docker:

CODE

docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_app-data
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_uploads
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-config
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-logs

Podman:

CODE

podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_app-data
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_uploads
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-config
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-logs

This permanently deletes all application data, uploaded files, and synchronization configuration. Back up any files you wish to keep (e.g. Config.xml) before proceeding.

Finally, delete the deployment folder:

CODE

rm -rf <deployment-folder>
