If your WinBoat installation has failed and you might know why, follow these steps to clean up and retry:

⚠️ Note: Any of these commands might fail depending on how far the installation has gotten, that's perfectly okay, just go through them all.

  1. Shut down WinBoat
  2. Run docker stop WinBoat (for Docker) or podman stop WinBoat (for Podman) to stop the container
  3. Run docker rm WinBoat (for Docker) or podman stop WinBoat (for Podman) to remove the container
  4. If you're running a WInBoat version higher or equal to v0.8.6, simply delete the folder that you picked during installation for WInBoat, otherwise run docker volume rm winboat_data to remove the container volume
  5. Run rm -rf ~/.winboat to remove all remaining WinBoat data
  6. Optional: If you think the problem is not related to your system and it might be fixed in a newer release, download the latest release from https://github.com/TibixDev/winboat/releases
  7. Start WinBoat again and retry the installation
