Remove an app

Removing an app deletes it from Pyvolt and cleans up all resources on the server.

What gets removed

When you delete an app, Pyvolt SSHs into your server and removes:

  • The Gunicorn systemd service (stopped, disabled, deleted)
  • The nginx configuration (both sites-available and sites-enabled)
  • The app directory (/home/pyvolt/sites/yourdomain/) including the repo, virtualenv, and static files
  • The deploy SSH key
  • All deployment history in Pyvolt

Steps

  1. Go to your app's Settings tab
  2. Scroll to the Danger zone and click Delete app
  3. In the dialog, type the app's domain to confirm, then click Delete app

Notes

  • This action is permanent and cannot be undone
  • Your Git repository is not affected - only the deployed copy on the server is removed
  • If the server is unreachable, the database record is still deleted (you may need to manually clean up the server later)
  • DNS records pointing to your server are not changed - update them separately if needed
