## Decommission Procedure

### Step 1: Stop and Remove Containers
```bash
cd /opt/plane
docker compose down
```

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

### Step 2: Remove Nginx Configuration
```bash
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
```bash
certbot delete --cert-name tasks.firefrostgaming.com
```

**Result:** Certificate removed from Let's Encrypt

### Step 4: Remove Data Directory
```bash
cd /opt
rm -rf /opt/plane
```

**Result:** 147MB freed

### Step 5: Verify Cleanup
```bash
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  
**Documentation Updated:** March 27, 2026
