Quick Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://get.catops.app/hub.sh | sh -s -- -u
This will:
  1. Deactivate your license (so you can use it elsewhere)
  2. Stop the service
  3. Remove all files and data
  4. Remove the catops user
This deletes all metrics data permanently.

Backup Before Uninstalling

To keep your data:
sudo cp -r /opt/catops/pb_data ~/catops-backup/

Manual Uninstall

If you prefer to uninstall manually:
# Deactivate license first (frees up your activation slot)
sudo -u catops /opt/catops/catops-hub deactivate

# Stop service
sudo systemctl stop catops-hub
sudo systemctl disable catops-hub

# Remove systemd files
sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/catops-hub.service
sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/catops-hub-update.service
sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/catops-hub-update.timer
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

# Remove files
sudo rm -rf /opt/catops
sudo rm -rf /home/catops/.catops

# Remove user (optional)
sudo userdel -r catops

Reinstalling

After uninstalling, reinstall anytime:
curl -fsSL https://get.catops.app/hub.sh | sh
Your license key is still valid - just activate it again.
