Uninstall

uninstall.sh is the companion to install.sh — it tears a node down cleanly, primarily so you can re-test the one-liner installer as many times as you like.

curl -fsSL https://www.streamhub.studio/uninstall.sh | sudo bash                    # interactive, asks to confirm
curl -fsSL https://www.streamhub.studio/uninstall.sh | sudo bash -s -- --yes        # non-interactive
curl -fsSL https://www.streamhub.studio/uninstall.sh | sudo bash -s -- --yes --purge

It’s idempotent — safe to run even when nothing (or only part) of StreamHub is installed.

Flags

Flag	Meaning
--dir <path>	Install directory to remove (default /opt/streamhub).
--keep-data	Keep <dir>/data (recordings/HLS/DB) — remove only the code.
--purge	Also prune Docker images + build cache (a truly fresh rebuild next time), and remove the nginx server block + the sysctl WebRTC drop-in.
--purge-tls	Also certbot delete the domain’s TLS certificate. Only pass this if you actually want it gone — a re-issue counts against Let’s Encrypt’s rate limits (~5 certs/week/domain).
--domain <fqdn>	Domain to use for the nginx site / cert removal (otherwise read from .env).
--yes / -y	Don’t prompt — required for non-interactive runs (no TTY).
--help	Show usage.

What it removes vs. keeps

Removed by default:

• The Docker stack: containers + named volumes (docker compose down -v --remove-orphans), plus any lingering streamhub-named containers.
• The install directory (default /opt/streamhub), including its data, unless you pass --keep-data.
• Installer leftovers: /var/log/streamhub-install.log, /var/log/streamhub-regen.log, /root/sh-run.sh, /root/regen.sh.

Kept by default:

• Docker itself.
• nginx and its server block.
• Any ufw rules.
• The Let’s Encrypt certificate. This is deliberate — Let’s Encrypt rate-limits issuance to roughly 5 certs/week/domain, so keeping the cert lets your next install reuse it instead of re-issuing.

--purge additionally prunes Docker build cache and dangling images (docker builder prune -af, docker image prune -af), removes the nginx server block, and removes the sysctl WebRTC drop-in (/etc/sysctl.d/99-streamhub-webrtc.conf).

--purge-tls additionally runs certbot delete --cert-name <domain>.

Caution

The default run deletes the install directory and its data (recordings, the SQLite DBs, everything under DATA_DIR). Pass --keep-data if you want to preserve that while re-testing the installer, and only add --purge-tls if you’re prepared to re-issue the certificate.

Reinstalling afterward

Because --yes (without --purge/--purge-tls) keeps Docker, nginx, ufw, and the TLS certificate, running the installer again is a clean rebuild that reuses the existing cert:

curl -fsSL https://www.streamhub.studio/install.sh | sudo bash
