SOLVED Uninstall PostgreSQL

[liebn0r]

Is there any way to uninstall PostgreSQL after it's been installed with the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/installpostgres script?

Hey there! We've got some details here that are still accurate:

How to completely disable PostgreSQL

Hello guys. I want to completely disable/uninstall PostgreSQL in my servers. What's the recommended procedure? I googled around a bit and found cPanel Docs don't provide this information and there are some tuts with dates around 5-10 years ago, like this one: how to remove postgresql out of...

forums.cpanel.net

Can you try that and let me know if that doesn't work how you expect?

Following the instructions in that thread, I am left with the following packages:

# yum list installed | grep postgres
cpanel-postgresql.x86_64 9.2.24-1.cp1186 installed
cpanel-postgresql-libs.x86_64 9.2.24-1.cp1186 installed
postgresql-libs.x86_64 9.2.24-6.el7_9 @updates

Is it safe to also remove the above packages?

Hey there liebn0r! It should be safe to remove postgresql-libs, but we do not recommend removing the cPanel provided RPMs. You should be able to remove the PostgreSQL RPM using the following commands:

yum remove postgresql
rpm -e --nodeps postgresql-libs-9.2.23-3.el7_4.x86_64

Let us know if this helps!

I had to update the command to the following but thanks for the guidance on the cPanel RPMs:

rpm -e --nodeps postgresql-libs-9.2.24-6.el7_9.x86_64

I am glad to hear it! I'll go ahead and mark this thread as solved for now. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know!

Thank you for choosing cPanel!
