# pve-nag-patch: no "No valid subscription" popup on our Proxmox hosts
|
|
|
|
Prime, 2026-10-03: "every host". UI-only. One static file (`proxmox-widget-toolkit`'s `proxmoxlib.js`) gets
|
|
one edit, so no service restarts and no change to how Proxmox runs. Hard-refresh the browser once.
|
|
|
|
**What it changes.** In `Proxmox.Utils.checked_command`, the status test that guards the popup becomes `false`.
|
|
The else-branch then runs the guarded command directly, so login, apt "Refresh" and the rest work with no popup.
|
|
The common `void(Ext.Msg.show…` trick would swallow those commands. The regex is anchored on the popup itself:
|
|
the status test must be followed immediately by `) { Ext.Msg.show({ title: gettext('No valid subscription')`.
|
|
The subscription panel's own status test stays untouched.
|
|
|
|
**Why anchored:** before rollout, I ran the patch offline against a copy of each host's live file. An
|
|
unanchored first version would have patched the wrong line, the subscription panel, on **nh3-pve and
|
|
pfi-pve**. Their older toolkits (4.3.11, 4.3.6) wrap the test across two lines (`res⏎ .data.status…`).
|
|
|
|
**Kept across updates:** `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/86pve-nag-patch` re-runs `/usr/local/sbin/pve-nag-patch` after
|
|
every dpkg run. Proven on nh3-pve-2 with `apt-get install --reinstall proxmox-widget-toolkit`: the original
|
|
came back and the hook re-patched it. The script is idempotent and always exits 0, so it can never fail an apt
|
|
run. It also leaves alone a file that another de-nag tool already handled.
|
|
|
|
| Host | Toolkit | State (2026-10-03 1326) |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| nh3-pve-2 | 5.2.10 | patched + hook (hook proven by reinstall) |
|
|
| nh3-pve | 4.3.11 | patched + hook |
|
|
| pfi-pve | 4.3.6 | patched + hook |
|
|
| esh-pve | 4.3.17 | patched + hook |
|
|
| esh-nas-pve | 4.3.17 | **already de-nagged before this**: pve-nag-buster (`86pve-nags`) + the community `no-nag-script`; file shows `res.false`. Left alone |
|
|
| esh-pve-2 | n/a | unplugged; run the playbook when it is back |
|
|
| sfsrv-ana | n/a | SureFire client hypervisor: NOT touched (coordinate first) |
|
|
| pbs-ana / pbs-nh3 | n/a | PBS has the same popup, but infra-ops has no sudo there. Not done |
|
|
|
|
**Checks run:**
|
|
- each served file passes `node --check`;
|
|
- our marker is present;
|
|
- the popup's status test is gone;
|
|
- positive control: the same grep finds the live test in every unpatched original;
|
|
- `node --check` caught a deliberately broken copy.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
scripts/elway infra-ops@<host> --playbook playbooks/pve-nag-patch.yaml # install / re-apply
|
|
```
|
|
**Undo:** remove `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/86pve-nag-patch` and `/usr/local/sbin/pve-nag-patch`, then
|
|
`apt-get install --reinstall proxmox-widget-toolkit`.
