pve-nag-buster

This is a fork of foundObjects/pve-nag-buster to add support for PVE 8+.

---

pve-nag-buster is a dpkg hook script that persistently removes license nags from Proxmox VE 6.x and up. Install it once and you won't see another license nag until the Proxmox team changes their web-ui code in a way that breaks the patch.

Please support the Proxmox team by buying a subscription if it's within your means. High quality open source software like Proxmox needs our support!

How does it work?

The included hook script removes the "unlicensed node" popup nag from the web gui and disables the pve-enterprise repository list. This script is called every time a package updates the web gui or the pve-enterprise source list and will only run if packages containing those files are changed.

The installer installs the dpkg hook script, adds the pve-no-subscription repo list and calls the hook script once. There are no external dependencies beyond the base packages installed with PVE by default.

Installation

Note: do not run the install command via the web shell, use SSH instead. Script restarts the GUI when removing nag, and this interrupts the connection to the web shell and the script never disables enterprise repos.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yrlish/pve-nag-buster/master/install.sh

# Always read scripts downloaded from the internet before running them with sudo
sudo bash install.sh

# or ..
chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

With Git:

git clone https://github.com/Yrlish/pve-nag-buster.git

# Always read scripts downloaded from the internet before running them with sudo
cd pve-nag-buster && sudo ./install.sh

Uninstall:

sudo ./install.sh --uninstall
# remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list if desired
