Hi Team, Facing issue with the below question:

On controlplane host we have nginx service running which isn’t needed on that system. Stop the nginx service and remove its service unit file. Make sure not to remove nginx package from the system.

Gowtham Chinta:
what command should I use to just remove nginx, but not removing nginx package from the system.

#3

unnivkn:
try this: k delete svc my-svc -n my-ns k delete -f svc.yaml

#4

Vinay Kumar:
systemctl remove nginx

#5

Vinay Kumar:
This removes service file but package will be retained

#6

Gowtham Chinta:
@Vinay Kumar, I checked and I don’t see any option “systemctl remove”.

Hi @Vinay Kumar systemctl disable nginx. will only disable nginx but it won’t remove unit files. but here it is asking us to remove the unit files.
