# Proxmox VE No-Subscription Removal
This script removes the 'No valid subscription' warning in Proxmox VE 6 and should only be used in test or demo environments. Please consider [buying a subscription](https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing)
and supporting the development of Proxmox VE.
## How to install
#### You can run the removal script one of three ways:
##### 1. Curl
`curl` into bash like shell:
```
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rickycodes/pve-no-subscription/main/no-subscription-warning.sh | sh
```
Do not curl blindly :see_no_evil: [Audit the script before you run it](no-subscription-warning.sh). It's not doing anything terribly surprising, I assure you!
##### 2. With Git
You can also clone the repo with git and run locally if you prefer, but you'll need `git` (a typical proxmox host doesn't have it installed):
```
git clone [email protected]:rickycodes/pve-no-subscription.git
cd pve-no-subscription
bash no-subscription-warning.sh
```
##### 3. Download
Or, you can download the source directly from one of [the releases](https://github.com/rickycodes/pve-no-subscription/releases/tag/v1.0):
```
wget https://github.com/rickycodes/pve-no-subscription/releases/download/v1.0/source.tar.gz
tar -xf source.tar.gz
bash ./pve-no-subscription/no-subscription-warning.sh
```
## Diagnostic
The script provides stdout and verifies a few things on behalf of the user.
#### After a successful run, you should see the following result:
```
subscription status: NotFound
performing replacement in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Subscription.pm...
restarting services...
all done!
```
#### Running the script a second time will produce the following result:
```
cannot find item. have you already run the replacement?
```
#### Running the script on a non pve install will produce:
```
/usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Subscription.pm does not exist! are you sure this is pve?
```
## TL;DR
If you don't care about the above diagnostic feedback and you'd rather yolo, this is the gist of it:
```sh
#!/bin/sh
set -ex
sed -i "s/NotFound/Active/g" "/usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Subscription.pm"
systemctl restart pvedaemon
systemctl restart pveproxy
```
## Adding apt hook
After updating you may find you need to re-run the script to apply the patch. You can automate this by adding a `Post-Invoke` apt hook.
First, let's create the script to run (you can put these files anywhere, but I am following pve conventions as best I can).
```
touch /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-post-hook
```
The above file should look something like this:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -ex
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rickycodes/pve-no-subscription/main/no-subscription-warning.sh | sh
```
We'll also need to make the file executable:
```
chmod +x /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-post-hook
```
Once that's done, we can add the hook. For that we're going to edit an existing file: `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10pveapthook`
Add the following line to the above file:
```
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "/usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-post-hook"; };
```
And that's it! The next time you perform an `apt upgrade` you should see something like the following (if the patch needs to be applied):
```
...
Setting up dnsutils (1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u2) ...
Processing triggers for mime-support (3.62) ...

+ sh
+ curl --proto =https --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rickycodes/pve-no-subscription/main/no-subscription-warning.sh
status => "NotFound",
subscription status: NotFound
attempting replacement in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Subscription.pm...
restarting services...
all done!
```
You can see the script ran successfully around the `+ sh` part.
## Notes
I couldn't get the install steps in [pve-no-subscription](https://github.com/lnxbil/pve-no-subscription) to work properly and [discovered this](https://github.com/lnxbil/pve-no-subscription/issues/5#issue-671298084). This script is a result of that discovery.
[pve-nag-buster](https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster) does the replacement in the web UI source, but that approach also seems to have stopped working? There's an [issue here](https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster/issues/3) with details on how to get around that).
This is very likely to break in the future. But as of this writing it works for proxmox versions `6.2.x` through to `7.3-3`
