Install Ajenti 2

Upgrade PIP:

sudo pip3 install setuptools pip wheel -U

Minimal install:

sudo pip3 install ajenti-panel ajenti.plugin.core ajenti.plugin.dashboard ajenti.plugin.settings ajenti.plugin.plugins

With all plugins:

sudo pip3 install ajenti-panel ajenti.plugin.ace ajenti.plugin.augeas ajenti.plugin.auth-users ajenti.plugin.core ajenti.plugin.dashboard ajenti.plugin.datetime ajenti.plugin.filemanager ajenti.plugin.filesystem ajenti.plugin.network ajenti.plugin.notepad ajenti.plugin.packages ajenti.plugin.passwd ajenti.plugin.plugins ajenti.plugin.power ajenti.plugin.services ajenti.plugin.settings ajenti.plugin.terminal

Uninstall Ajenti 2

Ajenti is a collection of Python modules installed with pip, delivered with an init script ( systemd or sysvinit ). So it’s necessary to remove the init script, then the Python librairies, and the configurations files.

Systemd

sudo systemctl stop ajenti.service
sudo systemctl disable ajenti.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo rm -f /lib/systemd/system/ajenti.service

SysVinit

/etc/init.d/ajenti stop
rm -f /etc/init/ajenti.conf

Python3 modules

List all modules from Ajenti:

sudo pip3 list | grep aj

The result should be something like ( eventually more or less plugins ):

aj                         2.1.43
ajenti-panel               2.1.43
ajenti.plugin.ace          0.30
ajenti.plugin.auth-users   0.31
ajenti.plugin.core         0.99
ajenti.plugin.dashboard    0.39
ajenti.plugin.filesystem   0.47
ajenti.plugin.passwd       0.24
ajenti.plugin.plugins      0.47
ajenti.plugin.session-list 0.4
ajenti.plugin.settings     0.30

Then simply remove all these modules:

sudo pip3 uninstall -y aj ajenti-panel ajenti.plugin.ace ajenti.plugin.auth-users ajenti.plugin.core ajenti.plugin.dashboard ajenti.plugin.filesystem ajenti.plugin.passwd ajenti.plugin.plugins ajenti.plugin.session-list ajenti.plugin.settings

Configuration files

If you don’t need it for later, just delete the directory /etc/ajenti/:

sudo rm -rf /etc/ajenti/
