# pve-nag-buster

|
|
|
|
This is a dpkg post install hook script that persistently removes license nags
|
|
from Proxmox VE 5.x and up. Install it once and you won't see another license
|
|
nag until Proxmox changes their web-ui code significantly.
|
|
|
|
Please support the Proxmox team by [buying a subscription](https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing) 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
|
|
drops the hook script and creates dpkg hooks to call it then adds the
|
|
pve-no-subscription repo list. There are no external dependencies beyond the
|
|
base packages installed with PVE by default (awk, sed, grep, wget).
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
```
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster/master/install.sh
|
|
# Always read scripts downloaded from the internet before running them with sudo
|
|
chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With Git:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster.git
|
|
# Always read scripts downloaded from the internet before running them with sudo
|
|
cd pve-nag-buster && sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Uninstall:
|
|
```
|
|
./install.sh --uninstall
|
|
# remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list if desired
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Notes:
|
|
#### Why is there base64 in my peanut-butter?
|
|
|
|
For convenience the install script also contains a base64 encoded copy of the
|
|
hook script, this makes installation possible without access to github or a
|
|
full clone of the project directory.
|
|
|
|
To inspect the base64 encoded script run `./install.sh --emit`; this dumps the
|
|
encoded copy to stdout and quits. To install using the stored copy just run
|
|
`sudo ./install.sh --offline`, no internet required.
|
|
|
|
#### Support for PVE packages on non-PVE systems
|
|
|
|
If you're doing something weird like running PVE packages installed on top of
|
|
Ubuntu you'll need to edit install.sh and set the RELEASE in the \_install
|
|
function to something sane that'll work on your system. As of now (2020-01-09)
|
|
that's probably "buster". One of these days I'll add some logic to translate
|
|
from various Ubuntu releases to an appropriate PVE repo debian codename. I
|
|
suspect this'll be Bionic & Focal --> buster; I have no idea about Xenial,
|
|
maybe stretch? I could use feedback from someone doing this.
|
|
|
|
#### Git repo history
|
|
|
|
Sorry to all 5 of you who forked the repo before about 2020-01-20; I rewrote
|
|
git history to cleanup the commit noise from adding files through GitHub's web UI
|
|
originally.
|
|
|
|
Migrating to the new master branch should be fairly straightforward, the v02 tag
|
|
repo state is identical to the repo state before the rewrite.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# save and commit your work
|
|
git commit -a -m "WIP"
|
|
|
|
# make a backup of your branch Just In Case™
|
|
git checkout -b backup
|
|
git switch -
|
|
|
|
git fetch --all
|
|
git rebase -f --onto v02 origin/old-master <your branch here>
|
|
```
|
|
At this point you can merge into master or pick commits to merge into your work.
|
|
|
|
I highly recommend picking at least the following commits if you don't want to
|
|
track master. They fix a couple of potential problems and the v02 branch cleans
|
|
up the source tree quite a bit.
|
|
|
|
* 3fa4e7d (tag: v02a, v02) fixup for v02a release
|
|
* 674e924 rewrite make-release script to drop templates
|
|
* a260891 hook script: fixed grep test issue
|
|
* 427b23b more reliable hook trigger removal
