1 | Package Repositories |
2 | -------------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | All Debian based systems use | |
5 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as package | |
6 | management tool. The list of repositories is defined in | |
7 | '/etc/apt/sources.list' and '.list' files found inside | |
8 | '/etc/apt/sources.d/'. Updates can be installed directly using | |
9 | 'apt-get', or via the GUI. | |
10 | ||
65647b07 | 11 | Apt 'sources.list' files list one package repository per line, with |
d91f8c1e DM |
12 | the most preferred source listed first. Empty lines are ignored, and a |
13 | '#' character anywhere on a line marks the remainder of that line as a | |
14 | comment. The information available from the configured sources is | |
15 | acquired by 'apt-get update'. | |
16 | ||
17 | .File '/etc/apt/sources.list' | |

25 | In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories. | |
26 | ||
27 | {pve} Enterprise Repository | |
28 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
29 | ||
30 | This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for | |
31 | all {pve} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages, | |
32 | and is suitable for production use. You need a valid subscription key | |
33 | to access this repository. The `pve-enterprise` repository is enabled | |
34 | by default: | |
35 | ||
36 | .File '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list' | |
37 | ---- | |
38 | deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise | |
39 | ---- | |
40 | ||
41 | NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line | |
42 | using a '#' (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages | |
43 | if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the | |
44 | `pve-no-subscription` repository in that case. | |
45 | ||
46 | As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via | |
47 | email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of | |
48 | each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the | |
49 | update. So you will never miss important security fixes. | |
50 | ||
51 | {pve} No-Subscription Repository | |
52 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
53 | ||
54 | As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access | |
55 | this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production | |
56 | use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these | |
57 | packages are not always heavily tested and validated. | |
58 | ||
59 | We recommend to configure this repository in '/etc/apt/sources.list'. | |
60 | ||
61 | .File '/etc/apt/sources.list' | |

63 | deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib | |

65 | # PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com, | |
66 | # NOT recommended for production use | |
67 | deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-no-subscription | |

74 | {pve} Test Repository | |
75 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
76 | ||
77 | Finally, there is a repository called `pvetest`. This one contains the | |
78 | latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new | |
79 | features. As usual, you can configure this using | |
80 | '/etc/apt/sources.list' by adding the following line: | |
81 | ||
82 | .sources.list entry for `pvetest` | |

87 | WARNING: the `pvetest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used |
88 | for testing new features or bug fixes. | |
