How to reinstall rockon

[arolli (Antonio Rolli)]

Hi all,
after first istallation I wrongly delete all snapshot of rockon system share so now none of installed rockon is working.
trying to reinstall the single rockons doesn’t work.
In some post i see it’s possible to delete all rockon with a script and reinstall.

Can some one help describing how to delete rockons system?

thanks

visiting that thread directly will give better formatting of the info there.

We recognise that not surfacing/indicating the rock-on/docker related snapshots is a usability failure on Rockstor’s part and we have a couple of GitHub issues to address this that are in turn referenced in the following forum post:

Broken rockons after snapshot removal

@D_Jones Hello again. I have finally created an issue set for this usability shortfall, I was fairly sure we already had one in rockstor-core but apparently not, so here it is: and it’s partner in the rockstor-doc repo: Would you mind changing the title of this thread to reflect only the snapshot removal (ie “remove update or”) as this is enough to explain your reported issue here. Also we have had a long standing problem with needing to reboot after each update which affected docker …

Hope that helps.
