Uninstall Docker when installed via curl

Question

I have installed docker un my debian 7 server using the following command :

sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

I would now like to remove docker, how on earth do I uninstall it ?

Solution

For older versions of docker installed via curl

sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

You can remove docker with

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove docker #Removes docker and dependencies
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker #Removes all data 

Edit: 05/2018: For newer versions according to online documentation

$ sudo apt-get purge docker-ce

To remove images, containers, volumes, or customized configuration files on your host that are not automatically removed

$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker

And that, children, is why you don't install software this way on a server. Try docs.docker.com/installation/debian

It doesnt make it clear if the method works with the curl method. I end up reading the script :P

This didn't work for me. The documentation now says run sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker-ce docker.io

Ive updated the answer to cover newer versions of docker.

Docket was not installed with apt.

On the contrary, the get.docker.com script does, indeed, use apt to install the docker packages.
