Disable

The disable command is used to disable features enabled by the enable command.

Syntax

$ vela disable <feature>

The following features can be disabled:

• auth - Disable authentication
• api - Disable the REST API
• api-keys - Disable API key management
• backend - Disable the PocketBase backend
• content-negotiation - Disable content negotiation
• i18n - Disable internationalization
• notifications - Disable in-app notifications
• analytics - Disable web analytics
• ai - Disable AI chat
• teams - Disable teams
• payments - Disable payments
• subscriptions - Disable Stripe subscriptions
• s3 - Disable S3 file storage
• smtp - Disable SMTP configuration

Options

Every feature that changes files prompts before it does so. Pass -y or --yes to skip that confirmation. s3 and smtp only flip a PocketBase setting, so they take no options.

Data

Disabling reverts the code Vela generated, and some features take their data with them: disable backend deletes the local database in data/, and features that added collections drop them with every record in them (auth’s oauth_accounts, API keys, teams, notifications, payments and subscriptions). Everything else is left alone: disable auth keeps the users collection and its records, the databases on your deploy targets are never touched, and nothing is deleted at Stripe. Each page lists what it removes and what it leaves behind.
