From time to time I write some code that doesn’t work well. I currently have my local server in and endless loop and I cannot start the gateway. I’d like to remove my module by hand if possible and restart the gateway. Is that possible?

I don’t have a VM handy at the moment (travelling), but yes, you can kill the service, delete the module file from Ignition’s “data” folder, and start the service again.
