Delete Openshift Project
- Issue, can’t delete a namespace/project and is stuck in a “Terminating” status
oc delete project fishbone
oc get projects fishbone
NAME DISPLAY NAME STATUS
fishbone Fishbone Terminating
- Solution
- Define the namespace/project to delete
export NAMESPACE=fishbone
Cleanup the finalizers section from the namespace definition and define a json file with that `shell get namespace $NAMESPACE -o=json | jq '.spec = {"finalizers":[]}' > $NAMESPACE.json piVersion": "v1", ind": "Namespace", etadata": { nnotations": penshift.io/description": "", penshift.io/display-name": "Fishbone", penshift.io/requester": "system:admin", penshift.io/sa.scc.mcs": "s0:c24,c14", penshift.io/sa.scc.supplemental-groups": "1000580000/10000", penshift.io/sa.scc.uid-range": "1000580000/10000" reationTimestamp": "2021-02-20T03:29:59Z", eletionTimestamp": "2021-02-20T03:31:35Z", ame": "fishbone", esourceVersion": "270664", elfLink": "/api/v1/namespaces/fishbone", id": "885c4440-6f05-4e72-a103-28e61705406f" pec": { inalizers": [ ubernetes" tatus": { onditions": [ hase": "Terminating"
Apply the json file from the previous step to delete the finalizers and therefore the deletion of the namespace/project `shell rl -k -H "authorization: Bearer $(oc whoami --show-token)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT --data-binary @$NAMESPACE.json $(oc whoami --show-server)/api/v1/namespaces/$NAMESPACE/finalize
Verify that the namspace/project has been deleted `shell get projects $NAMESPACE ror from server (NotFound): namespaces "fishbone" not found
