Weave: [Question]Deleting the weave-net pod

[selvakumarnms]

Hi All,
I have installed the weave plugin through kubectl apply, Now I want to remove the pods that is running on kube-system namespace , is there any way to uninstall the weave plugin?
I tried deleting the pods and it is coming back as it is deployed as daemonset.

_Edited: removed unused parts of the template_

Hi @selvakumarnms,
The way to remove the pods is via kubectl delete. For example, if you created the Weave Net pods using:

$ kubectl -n kube-system apply -f https://git.io/weave-kube-1.6

you would remove them using:

$ kubectl -n kube-system delete -f https://git.io/weave-kube-1.6

I tried to use $ kubectl -n kube-system delete -f https://git.io/weave-kube-1.6 to remove, but it hung. I wonder why it did not proceed

$ kubectl -n kube-system delete -f https://git.io/weave-kube-1.6
clusterrole "flannel" deleted
clusterrolebinding "flannel" deleted
serviceaccount "flannel" deleted
configmap "kube-flannel-cfg" deleted

@kasheemlew it's better to create your own issue than to piggy-back on an old one.

That said, it's extremely surprising that the Weave Net config would delete a _flannel_ role or account. Could you double-check?

To find out more about what kubectl is doing, increase the logging level, e.g. kubectl -v=8 -n kube-system delete -f https://git.io/weave-kube-1.6

Assuming you've installed the weave package using:

export VAL=$(kubectl version | base64 | tr -d '\n')
kubectl apply -f "https://cloud.weave.works/k8s/net?k8s-version=$VAL"

You can remove it using the same config file.

kubectl delete -f "https://cloud.weave.works/k8s/net?k8s-version=$VAL"
