Removing a server
Removing the agent ends the connection to Flotera. Deleting the server also removes its record from the fleet. Review the consequences below before choosing an operation.
Remove agent
Section titled “Remove agent”The agent loses access to Flotera. If the server was unreachable during removal, its files may remain; use the local removal command below.
The server record stays in the fleet: the name, history, and marketplace bindings are preserved. This option is suitable, for example, before reinstalling the OS. To restore monitoring, install the agent again.
Delete server
Section titled “Delete server”The operation deletes the server record, its telemetry, and its configuration from Flotera. Use it if the server is sold, transferred to another owner, or decommissioned.
Restrictions
Section titled “Restrictions”Both operations are unavailable during an active rental or with a published listing. First finish the rental and take down the listing.
Removal on the server itself
Section titled “Removal on the server itself”Run this command on the server to remove the agent:
flotera-agent uninstallFor older installations without this command:
sudo /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.flotera.com/uninstall.sh)"Local removal does not delete the record from the panel. The server is shown as offline until you delete it from the fleet.
Billing
Section titled “Billing”The calculation includes days when the server was in the fleet and sent data. Deleting the server stops further counting but does not cancel payment for days already counted. The charge for the previous day may appear after deletion.
