How to Uninstall CloudLinux on cPanel WHM Server

This article provides a guide for how to uninstall CloudLinux on cPanel WHM server.

You can always uninstall CloudLinux OS. In this case, the system will be converted back to AlmaLinux or CentOS* (Depends on what system the conversion was done from).

Warning! CentOS Linux 8 reached End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021. You can still uninstall CloudLinux and return to CentOS 8, but we don't guarantee stable operation of the system and its repositories after this action.

The following actions will be taken:

LVE related packages will be removed.
CloudLinux OS repositories & yum plugin will be removed.
AlmaLinux or CentOS* repositories will be set up.

In the end, the script will provide instructions on how to finish the conversion back to AlmaLinux or CentOS*. That will require removal of CloudLinux OS kernel (manual step), and installation of AlmaLinux or CentOS* kernel (if needed).

To uninstall CloudLinux OS, run:

wget -O cldeploy https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy
sh cldeploy -c

To delete CloudLinux OS kernel, run (change the kernel package name to the one you've been using):

rpm -e --nodeps $(rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep lve)

yum install kernel

Please check your bootloader configuration before rebooting the system.

To remove unused kmods and lve libs, run:

yum remove lve kmod*lve*

Before the reboot, the following command should be executed for restoring Apache and httpd.conf without mod_hostinglimits.

For EasyApache 3:

/scripts/easyapache --build

/usr/local/bin/ea_install_profile --install /etc/cpanel/ea4/profiles/cpanel/default.json

Conclusion

You now know how to uninstall CloudLinux on cPanel WHM server.
