I don’t plan on upgrading to Premium for any reason (as I self-host and my needs are small.) However, I see links to premium options all over the UI. Is there a way I can disable all the premium up-sells in the UI?
Hi @draft13,
this is not possible at the moment. So this would fall into the “feature request” category.
We have a BASEROW_OSS_ONLY setting to hide all premium features completely.
It should be enough to set BASEROW_OSS_ONLY=true as an environment variable.

Ah didn’t realize that. Is this documented somewhere?
For some reason, it isn’t. I’ve created an issue here to document it properly: Document BASEROW_OSS_ONLY environment variable (#3204) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab
Not sure if you would like to continue the conversation here, but I am un-able to get this to work, If I add it to an pre-existing docker instance with data adding the environment variable creates errors on startup with key restraint errors.
So I tried creating a fresh docker instance with that environment variable already set, and while that key restraint error doesn’t appear, the UI has no change. There are still references to premium features as before.
I see. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It was introduced almost two years ago for this purpose, but I must admit that it hasn’t been documented well and isn’t widely used, so I guess it broke recently, and nobody noticed it.
I’ll investigate and let you know.

Thanks for checking in on it.
Seems like this is still broken. Setting BASEROW_OSS_ONLY=true in the file .env leads to several python errors during startup:
