Uninstall the notation CLI and its configuration
The notation CLI uses the following directories for its binaries and configuration files:
NOTATION_BINis the directory for thenotationbinary.NOTATION_LIBEXECis the directory for other binaries, such as plugins, used by thenotation.NOTATION_CONFIGis the directory for the configuration files, including trust stores and trust policies.
Important
notation has default values for NOTATION_BIN, NOTATION_LIBEXEC, or NOTATION_CONFIG, but notation does not set those environment variables. These environment variables are optional, but if you wish to override the default values, you can set them to another value. For more details on each directory as well as the default location of those directories on each platform, see Notation directory structure for system configuration.Remove the notation CLI
Delete the NOTATION_BIN directory to remove the notation binary.
Remove the additional binaries
Delete the NOTATION_LIBEXEC directory to remove the additional binaries, including plugins.
Remove the configuration files
Important
notation automatically creates the NOTATION_CONFIG directory if it does not exist. If you remove the NOTATION_CONFIG directory, notation will recreate the directory the next time you run a command.Delete the NOTATION_CONFIG directory to remove the configuration files.
Remove the test key and self-signed certificate
You can generate a sample test key and self-signed certificate using notation cert generate-test. For example:
notation cert generate-test --default "wabbit-networks.io"
At this time, that key and self-signed certificate files can’t be removed using notation key delete and notation cert delete. To remove this key and self-signed certificate files, remove the key from the signing list and certificate from the trust store using notation key delete and notation cert delete, then manually delete the key and certificate files.
Use notation key ls to show the location of the key and certificate files. For example:
notation key ls
NAME KEY PATH CERTIFICATE PATH ID PLUGIN NAME
* wabbit-networks.io NOTATION_CONFIG/localkeys/wabbit-networks.io.key NOTATION_CONFIG/localkeys/wabbit-networks.io.crt
Use notation key delete to remove the key from the signing list. For example:
notation key delete wabbit-networks.io
Remove the key file using the path from notation key ls. For example:
rm NOTATION_CONFIG/localkeys/wabbit-networks.io.key
Use notation cert delete to remove the certificate reference from the trust store. For example:
notation cert delete --type ca --store wabbit-networks.io wabbit-networks.io.crt
Remove the certificate file using the path from notation key ls. For example to remove certificate file in BASH:
rm NOTATION_CONFIG/localkeys/wabbit-networks.io.crt
