Uninstalling OpenShift Pipelines

Cluster administrators can uninstall the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator by performing the following steps:

  1. Delete the Custom Resources (CRs) for the optional components, TektonHub and TektonResult, if these CRs exist, and then delete the TektonConfig CR.

    If you uninstall the Operator without removing the CRs of optional components, you cannot remove the components later.

  2. Uninstall the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator.

  3. Delete the Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) of the operator.tekton.dev group.

Uninstalling only the Operator will not remove the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines components created by default when the Operator is installed.

Deleting the OpenShift Pipelines Custom Resources

If the Custom Resources (CRs) for the optional components, TektonHub and TektonResult, exist, delete these CRs. Then delete the TektonConfig CR.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Administration → CustomResourceDefinitions.

  2. Type TektonHub in the Filter by name field to search for the TektonHub Custom Resource Definition (CRD).

  3. Click the name of the TektonHub CRD to display the details page for the CRD.

  4. Click the Instances tab.

  5. If an instance is displayed, click the Options menu kebab for the displayed instance.

  6. Select Delete TektonHub.

  7. Click Delete to confirm the deletion of the CR.

  8. Repeat these steps, searching for TektonResult and then TektonConfig in the Filter by name box. If any instances are found for these CRDs, delete these instances.

Deleting the CRs also deletes the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines components and all the tasks and pipelines on the cluster.

If you uninstall the Operator without removing the TektonHub and TektonResult CRs, you cannot remove the Tekton Hub and Tekton Results components later.

Uninstalling the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator

You can uninstall the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator by using the Administrator perspective in the web console.

  2. Click the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator tile. The Operator tile indicates that the Operator is installed.

  3. In the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator description page, click Uninstall.

  4. In the Uninstall Operator? window, select Delete all operand instances for this operator, and then click Uninstall.

When you uninstall the OpenShift Pipelines Operator, all resources within the openshift-pipelines target namespace where OpenShift Pipelines is installed are lost, including the secrets you configured.

Deleting the Custom Resource Definitions of the operator.tekton.dev group

Delete the Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) of the operator.tekton.dev group. These CRDs are created by default during the installation of the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Administration → CustomResourceDefinitions.

  2. Type operator.tekton.dev in the Filter by name box to search for the CRDs in the operator.tekton.dev group.

    1. Click the Options menu kebab.

    2. Select Delete CustomResourceDefinition.

    3. Click Delete to confirm the deletion of the CRD.
