Remove an Organization

To remove a Synkzone Organization that should no longer be used, follow these steps:

Danger

When the Organization is removed, there is no way to restore it or its data.

Organization Server

  1. Stop all components. 
    cd /opt/synkzone/organization
docker compose down
  2. Delete the VM.
  3. Delete storage bucket belonging to the Organization (if remote storage is enabled).

World Server

  1. Ensure instance property OrganizationMonitor is true (OrganizationMonitor=true).
  2. Create file named removed_organizations in the World component appdata directory.
  3. Add the names of any Organization(s) to be removed to the file, one Organization per line.
  4. On the next restart of the World the Organization(s) are removed.

Note

OrganizationMonitor is set to true by default since release 3.11.

Note

When the Organization is successfully removed, the removed_organizations file is deleted from the World Server.

Example

cd /opt/synkzone/world
printf 'acme\ncontoso\n' >> world/appdata/removed_organizations
cat world/appdata/removed_organizations
acme
contoso
docker compose restart
