      So Proxmox is building on top of Debian and KVM. Great.

      They want you to buy a subscription for support. Great.

      Annoying the fuck out of you because you don't buy one? Not great.
      Causing updates to not come down because you don't have one? Stupid.

      At least the updates, they talk about in their documentation.
      Short answer: edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list
      Comment out the enterprise repo and add the no subscription repo.

      # deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-enterprise

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription

      The fix for the nag is a simple one liner from John McLaren

      sed -Ezi.bak "s/(Ext.Msg.show\(\{\s+title: gettext\('No valid sub)/void\(\{ \/\/\1/g" /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js && systemctl restart pveproxy.service

        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

          If there is an update to proxmox-widget-toolkit you will end up needing to run that script again because proxmoxlib.js will be replaced.

          You can confirm it by running this: apt --reinstall install proxmox-widget-toolkit

          You could create a dpkg post install hook script that will remove the license nag after each update. Or use the one provided at https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster.

          But the last time I used it, the variable, NAGTOKEN="data.status.toLowerCase() !== 'Active'" need to be change to NAGTOKEN="data.status.toLowerCase() !== 'active'"

                Is this git by someone else?

                I didn't look at that. Maybe his would be the answer because he says it works form 5.x to current.

                  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.

                                    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.
