Dot AI Port Destroy

Destroy Port Integrations

Remove all Port integrations, Kubernetes resources, and local files created by /port-setup.

Prerequisites

Check the following and instruct the user to install/configure if missing:

• kubectl - installed and configured with cluster access
• helm - installed
• gh - GitHub CLI installed and authenticated
• Environment variables set:
  • PORT_CLIENT_ID
  • PORT_CLIENT_SECRET

General Guidelines

• Confirm with user before proceeding with deletion
• Order matters - stop syncing FIRST, then delete Port resources
• Check existence before attempting deletion to avoid errors
• Consult Port MCP tools to discover what was created
• User actions vs automated: Some steps require user action (marked with "User action required") - present these as instructions, then STOP and wait for user confirmation before proceeding to the next step.

Step 0: Discover Environment

Before destroying, discover what exists and how it was deployed:

1. GitOps Tool: Check for ArgoCD (argocd namespace) or Flux (flux-system namespace)
2. Manifest directory: Check for Port-related manifests (e.g., apps/port-*.yaml)
3. Port resources: Use Port MCP tools to list blueprints, entities, actions, integrations
4. GitHub resources: Check for workflows (.github/workflows/port-*.yaml) and repository secrets

GitOps Workflow Rules

IMPORTANT: When ArgoCD or Flux is detected, deletions must go through Git first.

1. Delete manifests from Git - Remove the YAML files from the manifest directory
2. Commit and push - The GitOps tool will detect changes and delete resources automatically
3. Wait for sync - Verify the resources are deleted before proceeding to Port cleanup
4. Then delete Port resources - Only after syncing stops, delete blueprints/entities/actions

This order ensures the exporter stops syncing before you delete resources in Port.

Part 1: Delete Kubernetes Resources (FIRST - stops syncing)

Critical: Delete the K8s exporter FIRST to stop new entities from being synced to Port.

Uninstall Port K8s Exporter

Check deployment method and delete accordingly:

With ArgoCD/Flux (GitOps):

1. Delete the manifest file from Git:

rm <manifest-dir>/port-k8s-exporter.yaml
git add -A && git commit -m "Remove port-k8s-exporter" && git push

2. Wait for ArgoCD/Flux to sync and delete the resources
3. Verify: kubectl get ns port-k8s-exporter should return not found
4. If namespace still exists after sync, delete it manually: kubectl delete ns port-k8s-exporter

With Helm directly (non-GitOps):

helm uninstall port-k8s-exporter -n port-k8s-exporter
kubectl delete secret port-credentials -n port-k8s-exporter
kubectl delete externalsecret port-credentials -n port-k8s-exporter  # if using ESO
kubectl delete namespace port-k8s-exporter

Part 2: Delete Port Self-Service Actions

Delete all self-service actions created for CRDs. Do this BEFORE deleting blueprints since actions reference blueprints.

1. Use mcp__port-vscode-eu__list_actions to find actions with identifiers matching patterns:
   • create_*, update_*, delete_*
2. For each action, use mcp__port-vscode-eu__delete_action

Part 3: Delete Port Blueprints and Entities (User Action Required)

Delete the blueprints created during setup from the Data Model page.

Steps:

1. Use mcp__port-vscode-eu__list_blueprints to discover which blueprints exist
2. Identify blueprints that were created by /port-setup (exclude system blueprints starting with _ and the defaults: cluster, namespace, workload)
3. Present the list to the user
4. Instruct the user to:
   • Go to Data Model
   • Tip: Switch to Cards view (top-right toggle) to make it easier to find and delete blueprints
   • For each blueprint, click the "..." menu -> Delete All [Blueprint Name]
   • This deletes all entities AND the blueprint in one action

STOP and wait for user confirmation before proceeding.

Part 4: Delete GitHub Workflows and Secrets

Delete Workflow Files

Look for Port-related workflows and delete them:

rm .github/workflows/port-*.yaml

Delete Repository Secrets

gh secret delete PORT_CLIENT_ID
gh secret delete PORT_CLIENT_SECRET
gh secret delete KUBE_CONFIG  # if created

Commit and push the deletions:

git add -A && git commit -m "Remove Port self-service workflows" && git push

Part 5: Delete GitHub Integration Mapping (Optional)

If user wants to remove GitHub integration:

1. Go to Port Data Sources: https://app.port.io/settings/data-sources
2. Find the GitHub integration
3. Either:
   • Remove specific resource mappings (User action required)
   • Or uninstall the entire GitHub App (User action required)

Verification

After cleanup, verify:

1. Kubernetes: kubectl get ns port-k8s-exporter returns not found
2. Port: No custom blueprints, entities, or actions remain
3. GitHub: No Port-related workflows or secrets
4. Local: No Port manifests in the repository
