Removing EVVR Container from your machine

Updated this week

Removing an EVVR Container instance depends on how your instance was installed:

Use the table of contents on the right to select how you originally installed EVVR Container to see the instructions relevant to your installation.


Originally installed using Docker on Ubuntu

Log into a terminal on the host machine and enter the following commands:

Step 1 - Stop the container

cd evvr
sudo docker compose down

This will stop the instance of EVVR Container, and remove it from the list of Docker containers.

Step 2 - (Optional) Delete the volumes

There are two volumes (a configuration volume and a recording volume) that hold the data used by your instance of EVVR Container. These are not deleted by default in case you wish to reinstall at a later date.

Firstly, check the volumes still exist using this command:

sudo docker volume ls

There will two entries for edgevis-config and edges-recordings. To remove these enter these commands:

sudo docker volume rm edgevis-config
sudo docker volume rm edgevis-recordings

You can repeat the first command in this step to confirm the volumes are deleted.

Step 3 - Remove the images

Finally, Docker will hold onto the original installation files as an 'image'. To delete these firstly check if they are still present:

sudo docker images -a

This should list an image with the name digitalbarriers/evvr.

To remove it use this command:

sudo docker rmi digitalbarriers/evvr:9.0.0

You can repeat the first command in this step to confirm the images are deleted.


Originally installed using Docker on Raspberry Pi OS

Log into a terminal on the host machine and enter the following commands:

Step 1 - Stop the container

cd evvr
sudo docker-compose down

This will stop the instance of EVVR Container, and remove it from the list of Docker containers.

Originally installed using Docker on Cradlepoint

Cradlepoint has a user interface for managing containers - for more information please refer to the Installation guide for Cradlepoint.


Originally installed using the Debian .DEB file

To only remove the software

This will stop the container, delete it, and remove the image from the system.
Your recordings and configuration will remain on the system inside their relevant docker volumes.

sudo apt remove edgevis-encoder

To remove software and config/recording volumes

This will do everything that remove does, as well as delete all of the container volumes and configuration files.

sudo apt remove --purge edgevis-encoder
