Proxmox initial setup annoyances

The git repo is from someone else. But the pve-nag-buster script hasn't been updated with the fix for NAGTOKEN variable.

pve-nag-buster make changes to the data.status while the one from John McLaren changes Ext.Msg.show

When I reinstalled everything today, I looked at the github.

That also fixes the repo as well as the nag (minus the current bug).

I've always just dealt with the nag screen. I guess I'll have to give this a shot.

So with the git repo method, immediately after installing PM...
Even before opening the web console the first time..
Hit up ssh as root.

apt update # you will get an error because of the enterprise repo. ignore it.
apt install git -y
git clone https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster.git
cd pve-nag-buster && ./install.sh

# as of this writing, there is a bug in the git repo. so fix it.
sed -i 's/NAGTOKEN="data.status !== \x27Active\x27"/NAGTOKEN="data.status.toLowerCase() !== \x27active\x27"/g' /usr/share/pve-nag-buster.sh
bash /usr/share/pve-nag-buster.sh

# now update the system
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y

# then reboot.
reboot

Now you have a clean install, fully updated and not nagging you.

you should make your git for this, fewer steps for people

The owner of the above repo has not updated the repo in 11 months. The "issue" has only been hanging around since November 10th.

I know that issues posted to my github are not immediately noticed by me. Because I have email turned off. So not blaming this guy.

This post is deleted!

The noted repo has been updated.

The "fix" is no longer required.

It also still works on ProxMox 7.0.0

apt update # you will get an error because of the enterprise repo. ignore it.
apt install git -y
git clone https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster.git
cd pve-nag-buster && ./install.sh

# now update the system
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y

# then reboot.
reboot

You may have to clear browser cache to fully get rid of the nag. Mine kept coming back, clearing caches got rid of it.

I run this prior to ever opening the web interface, so never an issue.
