I need to completely uninstall Rancher. Below is my script that I use to do so. Tell me if it is missing anything.

Script [rancher-reset.sh](http://rancher-reset.sh):

```auto
#!/bin/bash

# Reset Rancher

service docker stop
umount -rlf /var/lib/docker/*
umount -rlf /var/lib/rancher/*
rm -rf /var/lib/docker/*
rm -rf /var/lib/rancher/*

apt install --reinstall docker-ce

```

After removing Rancher and Docker, `rancher/server` installs successfully, and then adding the `Host` installs successfully.

However, the new host never shows up in the UI.

When watching the stdio with `docker attach container`, it seemed to be in a loop over and over again

Did you run that script on the host also?

I ran the server, and then ran the host shell command, as well

According to the FAQ, you should also force remve the rancher-agent before trying to add a host back into Rancher.

Can you share logs from the `rancher/agent` container, it should tell you why it’s failing to register.
