Uninstalling indi-allsky

Instructions for removing, purging, or disabling indi-allsky across both Debian package installations and legacy manual source checkouts.

---

Option 1: APT Package Removal (Debian / Ubuntu / Raspberry Pi OS)

If you installed indi-allsky via the official APT repository (apt.indi-allsky.org):

Remove Application (Preserve Configuration & Capture Data)

Removes the application binaries and services while leaving databases (/var/lib/indi-allsky/), configurations (/etc/indi-allsky/), and media libraries (/var/www/html/allsky/) intact:

sudo apt remove indi-allsky

Complete Purge (Delete All Configuration & Data)

[!CAUTION] Running apt purge permanently deletes all configuration files in /etc/indi-allsky/, SQLite databases in /var/lib/indi-allsky/, and system accounts.

sudo apt purge indi-allsky
