# remove site config from the load balancers

This block is part of the [`nginx`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/nginx) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.0`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150000).

Remove a live site config and reload nginx, per node. The far side refuses when the remaining set would not validate without it, and archives rather than destroys.

- flow `flow`

- Site required `value` The site to remove.

- Load balancers required `array` Where to remove. ONE node on a shared-fs fleet; every node on an independent fleet.

- flow `flow`

- Success `condition` True when every target node removed the site.

- Site `value` The site that was removed.

- Results `array` Per node: name, host, ok, output, exit_code.

- Applied count `number` How many nodes removed it.

- Node count `number` How many nodes were asked.

- Error `value` Why the removal was refused or incomplete.

Removes a live site config, per node, through the fleet's validated contract: the far side first proves the REMAINING live set still passes nginx -t without this file (a site another config depends on stays live, with the reason in the per-node output), then archives the file : nothing is destroyed : and reloads. On a shared-filesystem fleet pass exactly one node, same convergence rule as nginxsite_push: the other nodes' watchers pick the removal up within seconds. On an independent fleet, list every node.

A typical wiring for [remove site config from the load balancers](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/nginx/nginxsite_delete): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `site` pin; [with values](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/array/array_of_values) feeds the `nodes` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_debug).
