To uninstall the Enterprise Glossary and/or the Synchronization service perform the following steps:
Stop the Stack
Before removing any containers or images, stop the running stack first.
Docker (powershell):
.\stop.ps1
# or manually:
docker compose down
Podman (powershell):
python -m podman_compose --project-name enterpriseglossary-project down
Remove the Container Images
Once the stack is stopped, remove the loaded images. First list all available images to identify the correct names and tags:
Docker:
docker images
Podman:
podman images
Then remove the images:
Docker:
docker rmi enterpriseglossary:<IMAGE_TAG>
docker rmi enterpriseglossary-sync:<IMAGE_TAG>
Podman:
podman rmi enterpriseglossary:<IMAGE_TAG>
podman rmi enterpriseglossary-sync:<IMAGE_TAG>
Replace <IMAGE_TAG> with the version tag shown in the image list (e.g. 2026.3.0).
Remove Persistent Data (Optional)
If you also want to delete all persistent application data stored in named volumes, run:
Docker:
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_app-data
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_uploads
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-config
docker volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-logs
Podman:
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_app-data
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_uploads
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-config
podman volume rm enterpriseglossary-project_sync-logs
This permanently deletes all application data, uploaded files, and synchronization configuration. Back up any files you wish to keep (e.g.
Config.xml) before proceeding.
Finally, delete the deployment folder:
rm -rf <deployment-folder>
