[SOLVED] Backup Portainer and completely Uninstall to test disaster recovery

I have OMV running in a Qemu VM and installed Docker with Portainer and some Stacks to test.

I have downloaded the backup file from Portainer in Settings, and also used Portainer Backup which produces the same tarball for restoring the settings and stacks.

I have deleted the Stacks in Portainer, unistalled Portainer in OMV Extras page and rebooted.

I then reinstalled Portainer and loaded the web interface.

However, instead of being presented with the first-time wizard for Portainer (so that I could restore using the backup tarball) I was able to log in with the same credentials.

How can I completely clear Portainer from OMV?

Thanks,

Paully

Yes, that worked ... thank you!

One small addition to notes for myself ... the containers from the stacks were not running, so for each stack I had to go in to the 'Editor' tab and then hit the Deploy the Stack button again.

Once that was done, all 3 of my test Stacks survived a reboot ... so I can well and truly call this a day and I am sorted for disaster recovery.

That Docker container portainer-backup is really good and will save your skin ... you can then copy off the tarball to the cloud or whereever.

Lovely.
