If you rethinking the licensing model, have you sort about a perpetual fallback license? Also what does this mean exactly, that license prices might double after the EAP phase?

Yes, this is the main model we are looking at now.You provided a link to KeePassium license.We also know some good examples of such license (e.g. JetBrains Rider).

Did you made progress on rethinking the licensing model?

Thank for notifying us about that! Yeah, we really had an issue with the cert renewal and fixed it on the next day.

We are currently working on the next major release that will also include migration to the new Cockpit design system that is used in latest Linux distros. Expecting to release it very soon. Licensing upgrade is planned right after that release.

I followed the guide and installed on proxmox and all seemed to work but it never allows login. How would I go about uninstalling/removing this since it does not work?

Hi @i2sly,

I followed the guide and installed on proxmox and all seemed to work but it never allows login. How would I go about uninstalling/removing this since it does not work?

it seems that `Cockpit` has been added `root` user to the list of disallowed users by default. You could delete `root` from this list, after that you should be able to log in. Here's the command:

sed -i 's/^root$/# root/' /etc/cockpit/disallowed-users

We also added a note about that to the Installation manual. Thanks for telling us about that!

In case if you'd like to delete Poolsman, you could do the following:

apt remove poolsman

# Delete dependency packages that are no longer required:
apt autoremove

Hi,

we are excited to announce Poolsman Preview 10 release. It brings a new design in accordance with the latest Cockpit versions.

• Fresh look. Every page and UI component has been updated, matching the design used in the latest Cockpit releases.
• Seamless integration on older Cockpit. Poolsman automatically detects whether it runs under older versions of Cockpit and adjusts its styling accordingly.
• Compatibility mode. If automatic settings don't work as expected, it's possible to manually set Theme and Compatibility Mode on the Settings page.
• Various other UI improvements.
• Support of the latest ZFS versions.

The first stable release is getting closer. Thank you for being part of the Early Access Program!
