Compose: Uninstall docker compose

[callmekatootie]

Hello,

I went through the documentation and I could not find how I can uninstall docker-compose.

I installed docker and docker-compose to know more about it. Now I am done and I wish to remove them. However, I could not find any info about how to carry that out.

I installed them through the instructions in the website.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04

This is probably the wrong place to ask this. However, you can uninstall compose with the same tool you installed it with - pip uninstall docker-compose

[thaJeztah]

The instructions in the documentation don't use pip. I think it's reasonable to explain how to uninstall docker-compose.

This is probably the wrong place to ask this.

@macobo the docs are part of this repository. While I agree that the question could be interpreted as a "support" question, I think it points to an omission in the docs.

It definitely is an omission in the docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

[thaJeztah]

@AndyWendt are you interested in creating a pull-request, explaining how to uninstall (both for "pip" installations and the "curl" install)? (Similar to, for example, https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/#uninstallation)

[AndyWendt]

@thaJeztah definitely! I will send them right over. I wasn't quite sure where all the docs were for the docker project as a whole, but I see they are in each individual project (i.e. docker/docker, docker/compose, etc). I was looking for where to send the PR when you commented :smile:

Awesome! :+1:

This is now in the docs https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/master/docs/install.md#uninstallation. It'll be published in the next release I guess?

@dnephin the docs link is gone, is this available elsewhere?

sudo apt remove docker-compose
