## fake-proxmox-subscription
|
|
A Debian package to disables the "No valid subscription" dialog on all Proxmox
|
|
products (in theory), regardless of their version.
|
|
|
|
Based on [Jamesits/fake-pve-subscription][1]
|
|
|
|
This package was created to provide that the package is built via CI/CD and be
|
|
transparent about it - because you'd be installing it on your server afterall,
|
|
and who'd install a random `.deb` package on it?
|
|
|
|
### Features
|
|
This package should work and patch:
|
|
- Proxmox VE (5.x or later - 3.x and 4.x requires some manual actions)
|
|
- Proxmox Mail Gateway (5.x or later)
|
|
- Proxmox Backup Server (1.x or later)
|
|
|
|
What this package does is:
|
|
1. **Non-Intrusive**: Performs 0 modification to the system files.
|
|
2. **Future-Proof**: Requires no adjustments between system updates & major
|
|
upgrades.
|
|
3. **Hassle-Free**: Install or uninstall with ease, just 1 command and done.
|
|
4. **Debian-ized**: Comes as a proper Debian package, fresh from GitHub CI/CD
|
|
to provide transparency to its delivery.
|
|
5. **Fuck JavaScript**: No JavaScript is involved in the whole process, because
|
|
fuck JavaScript.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
#### Installation
|
|
Download the [latest `.deb`][2] file found under [releases][2] and install it
|
|
with `apt` or `apt-get`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/arszilla/fake-proxmox-subscription/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url.*deb" | cut -d : -f 2,3 | tr -d \" | wget -i - -O fake-proxmox-subscription.deb
|
|
# apt install ./fake-proxmox-subscription.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Uninstallation
|
|
Just run `apt` or `apt-get` with the `remove` flag:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# apt remove fake-proxmox-subscription
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build It Yourself
|
|
You can easily build the package yourself, assuming you have a *Debian*-based
|
|
system:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential debhelper dpkg-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/Arszilla/fake-proxmox-subscription
|
|
$ cd fake-proxmox-subscription/
|
|
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
|
|
$ ls -al ../fake-proxmox-subscription_*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can view and validate the contents of your newly build `.deb` while at it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ dpkg-deb --info ../fake-proxmox-subscription_*.deb
|
|
$ dpkg-deb --contents ./fake-proxmox-subscription_*.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, a `Dockerfile` is available if you want to use `podman` or
|
|
`docker` to build the packages. Just transfer the generated file from `/opt/`.
|
|
|
|
I couldn't be really arsed with it or bother - I mainly used the `Dockerfile`
|
|
to validate my packaging, but reckoned someone might want to use it.
