Delete a destination

Deleting a standalone Docker destination removes the destination from Coolify and removes its Docker network from the server. The default coolify destination cannot be deleted from the dashboard.

Before you delete

Open the destination and select Resources. Review every application, database, and service listed on the page.

For each resource you want to keep:

  • back up its database and persistent-storage data
  • recreate or clone the resource to another destination
  • restore or migrate its data separately because cloning copies configuration only
Remove every resource first

Deleting a Docker network can interrupt containers that still use it. Continue only after Resources shows No resources are using this destination.

Delete the destination

Open the destination

  1. Select Destinations in the Coolify sidebar.
  2. Select the destination you want to delete.
  3. Open General.

Confirm the deletion

  1. Select Delete Destination.
  2. Review the deletion action.
  3. Enter the destination name exactly as shown.
  4. Select Permanently Delete.

Coolify disconnects the Coolify Proxy from the network, removes the Docker network from the server, and removes the destination from Coolify.

Verify the deletion

Open the global or server-specific Destinations page and confirm that the deleted destination no longer appears.

If you need the destination again

There is no restore action for a deleted destination. Follow Create a Destination, then redeploy or restore each resource separately.
