Promox: No valid subscription message popup

Intro

Sometimes, the popup message — “No valid subscription” bothers me.

Fortunately, the popup window only show up only during the initial login.

Today, I got curios if there is a way

what brings up the popup?

In the javascript, `/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js`, there is a logic checking the subscription by making API call to Proxmox.

If there is no valid subscription, then “No valid subscription” will popup.

Here is the logic in the proxmoxlib.js

    checked_command: function(orig_cmd) {
        Proxmox.Utils.API2Request(
            {
                url: '/nodes/localhost/subscription',
                method: 'GET',
                failure: function(response, opts) {
                    Ext.Msg.alert(gettext('Error'), response.htmlStatus);
                },
                success: function(response, opts) {
                    let res = response.result;
                    if (res === null || res === undefined || !res || res
                        .data.status.toLowerCase() !== 'active') {
                        Ext.Msg.show({
                            title: gettext('No valid subscription'),
                            icon: Ext.Msg.WARNING,
                            message: Proxmox.Utils.getNoSubKeyHtml(res.data.url),
                            buttons: Ext.Msg.OK,
                            callback: function(btn) {
                                if (btn !== 'ok') {
                                    return;
                                }
                                orig_cmd();
                            },
                        });
                    } else {
                        orig_cmd();
                    }
                },
            },
        );
    },

How to disable the popup?

step1: disable the popup

Run this cmd through Proxmox’s node shell. This cmd will make a backup and create a new file which has the patch.

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

After that, you can see that a new file is created. — proxmoxlib.js.bak

root@pve:/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit# ls -al
total 1380
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root   4096 Aug  9 02:21 .

You can see the diff as well.
