How to completely uninstall kubernetes
kubeadm reset
/*On Debian base Operating systems you can use the following command.*/
# on debian base
sudo apt-get purge kubeadm kubectl kubelet kubernetes-cni kube*
/*On CentOs distribution systems you can use the following command.*/
#on centos base
sudo yum remove kubeadm kubectl kubelet kubernetes-cni kube*
# on debian base
sudo apt-get autoremove
#on centos base
sudo yum autoremove
/For all/
sudo rm -rf ~/.kube
use kubeadm reset
command. this will un-configure the kubernetes cluster.
If you are clearing the cluster so that you can start again, then, in addition to what @rib47 said, I also do the following to ensure my systems are in a state ready for kubeadm init
again:
kubeadm reset -f
rm -rf /etc/cni /etc/kubernetes /var/lib/dockershim /var/lib/etcd /var/lib/kubelet /var/run/kubernetes ~/.kube/*
iptables -F && iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F && iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t raw -F && iptables -t raw -X
iptables -t mangle -F && iptables -t mangle -X
systemctl restart docker
You then need to re-install docker.io
, kubeadm
, kubectl
, and kubelet
to make sure they are at the latest versions for your distribution before you re-initialize the cluster.
EDIT: Discovered that calico adds firewall rules to the raw
table so that needs clearing out as well.
In my "Ubuntu 16.04", I use next steps to completely remove and clean Kubernetes (installed with "apt-get"):
kubeadm reset
sudo apt-get purge kubeadm kubectl kubelet kubernetes-cni kube*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm -rf ~/.kube
And restart the computer.
