Uninstallation

Uninstall HAProxy Enterprise on Linux

Follow these steps to uninstall HAProxy Enterprise from a Linux system.

  1. Stop HAProxy Enterprise.

    nix
    sudo systemctl stop hapee-<VERSION>-lb
    nix
    sudo systemctl stop hapee-<VERSION>-lb

    For example, to stop HAProxy Enterprise 3.0r1:

    nix
    sudo systemctl stop hapee-3.0-lb
    nix
    sudo systemctl stop hapee-3.0-lb

  2. Back up your configuration files.

    The HAProxy Enterprise configuration directory may contain files that you wish to keep: SSL/TLS certificates, map files, and other files that you may wish to preserve after uninstallation. Ensure that any files you wish to keep are copied to a safe location.

    The following command will copy the contents of /etc/hapee-3.0 to a time stamped directory in /tmp:

    nix
    cp -r /etc/hapee-3.0 /tmp/hapee-3.0-lb.backup.$(date +%F_%R)
    nix
    cp -r /etc/hapee-3.0 /tmp/hapee-3.0-lb.backup.$(date +%F_%R)

  3. Query to see your installed packages.

    nix
    sudo apt list --installed | grep hapee
    nix
    sudo apt list --installed | grep hapee
    output
