Hello Steven, Of course, you don't need to uninstall anything. Bacula daemons stay where they are. Don't worry, nothing changes here.
In that container image description is a sentence: "It can be used to connect external Bacularis API server(s) in containers or outside them." This "outside them" means that you can install Bacularis API in any way that you want, Docker image is only one of the ways. Reading your description for that, what you would like to have, the easiest is to install only one Bacularis using binary packages on the Bacula Director host. It contains the Bacularis Web and Bacularis API together, so you don't need to split it or install anything else, just this one Bacularis instance. The installation wizard, that you will see after installing, will lead you on all the configuration process. In case problems or questions, please let us know. Thanks!
