Decommission Procedure

Step 1: Stop and Remove Containers

cd /opt/plane
docker compose down

Result: 19 resources removed (17 containers + 1 migrator + 1 network)

Step 2: Remove Nginx Configuration

rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/plane
rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/plane
nginx -t  # Verify config
systemctl reload nginx

Result: Nginx configuration clean, reload successful

Step 3: Revoke SSL Certificate

certbot delete --cert-name tasks.firefrostgaming.com

Result: Certificate removed from Let's Encrypt

Step 4: Remove Data Directory

cd /opt
rm -rf /opt/plane

Result: 147MB freed

Step 5: Verify Cleanup

docker ps | grep plane           # Should return nothing
docker network ls | grep plane   # Should return nothing
docker volume ls | grep plane    # Should return nothing
ss -tlnp | grep 8090            # Should return nothing (port free)

Result: All verifications passed - complete removal confirmed

Why Plane Was Decommissioned

Original Purpose: Project management and task tracking for Firefrost Gaming infrastructure and development work.

Reason for Removal: Service was no longer actively used. Task tracking moved to other systems (likely Gitea issues or other tools).

Decision Made By: Michael (mkrause612)

No Data Migration Needed: Service was not in active use, no critical data to preserve.

---

Notes

• Monitor container (plane-monitor-1) was in continuous restart loop at time of decommission
• Space container (plane-space-1) was showing unhealthy status
• These issues were expected for a service being deprecated
• No impact on other services - Plane was isolated
• Domain tasks.firefrostgaming.com is now available for future use

---

Impact Assessment

Services Affected: None - Plane was standalone
Downtime: None - service was not in production use
Data Loss: None - service was not actively storing critical data
Dependencies Removed: 0 (no other services depended on Plane)

Decommission Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Verification: All containers removed, all configs deleted, all ports freed
