One of the things that has bugged me about Juju is that we have have dozens of “remove-*” commands. It feels slightly irritating to need to specify the exact command, when Juju could be inspecting the arguments and calling the right command.
Under the hood, juju-remove makes use of pylibjuju that @simonrichardson has been working hard to improve. As I get time, I’ll write up the structure I’ve used to make it easier for other people to write their own plugins.
Here is a comparison of the juju-remove syntax vs the Juju syntax:
juju remove 0 |
juju remove-machine 0 |
juju remove ubuntu |
juju remove-application ubuntu |
juju remove ubuntu/0 |
juju remove-unit ubuntu/0 |
juju remove webapp postgresql |
juju remove-relation webapp postgresql |
I would love to accept patches from anyone interested in supporting other things, such as cleaning up storage.
More details, including installation instructions, are available in the code repository:

The instructions are deliberately not a 1 click install, because this plugin needs some testing first.
