Uninstall OpenEverest using Helm

ACTION REQUIRED: OpenEverest and Bitnami Container Catalog changes

Bitnami is restructuring its container catalog on September 29, 2025. To avoid potential failures in OpenEverest operations, follow the steps outlined in this post.

important

If you installed OpenEverest using helm and need to uninstall it, make sure to uninstall it exclusively through helm for seamless removal.

Uninstall the database namespaces​

If you have created any database namespaces other than the default namespace, ensure to delete them first.

helm uninstall everest -n <DBNamespace>
kubectl delete ns <DBNamespace>
note

This runs a chart hook that cleans up your database resources. Although it is not recommended, you can skip this step by specifying cleanupOnUninstall=false.

Uninstall OpenEverest​

To uninstall OpenEverest, follow these steps:

  1. Run the following command:

    helm uninstall everest-core -n everest-system
    kubectl delete ns everest-system

  2. Remove the unused Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).

    warning

    Deleting CRDs can potentially cause issues with any custom resources that depend on those definitions within the kubernetes cluster. Ensure that you do not remove any CRDs that are being used by operator deployments outside of Everest.

Remove CRDs​

During the installation of Everest, the following operators are installed:

  • Everest
  • VictoriaMetrics
  • OLM

Besides the operators mentioned above, you must have installed at least one of the following operators.

Remove CRDs of Percona's PostgreSQL operator​

If you are using the PostgreSQL operator from Crunchy Data, do not remove the postgresclusters.postgres-operator.crunchydata.com CRD.

In this case, run the following command:

cat <<EOF | xargs kubectl delete crd
perconapgbackups.pgv2.percona.com
perconapgrestores.pgv2.percona.com
perconapgclusters.pgv2.percona.com
EOF
