8 {pve} uses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as its
9 package management tool like any other Debian-based system.
14 Repositories are a collection of software packages, they can be used to install
15 new software, but are also important to get new updates.
17 NOTE: You need valid Debian and Proxmox repositories to get the latest
18 security updates, bug fixes and new features.
20 APT Repositories are defined in the file `/etc/apt/sources.list` and in `.list`
21 files placed in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`.
26 [thumbnail="screenshot/gui-node-repositories.png"]
28 Since Proxmox VE 7.0 you can check the repository state in the web interface.
29 The node summary panel shows a high level status overview, while the separate
30 'Repository' panel shows in-depth status and list of all configured
33 Basic repository management, for example, activating or deactivating a
34 repository, is also supported.
39 In a `sources.list` file, each line defines a package repository. The preferred
40 source must come first. Empty lines are ignored. A `#` character anywhere on a
41 line marks the remainder of that line as a comment. The available packages from
42 a repository are acquired by running `apt-get update`. Updates can be installed
43 directly using `apt-get`, or via the GUI (Node -> Updates).

54 {pve} provides three different package repositories.
56 [[sysadmin_enterprise_repo]]
57 {pve} Enterprise Repository
58 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
60 This is the default, stable, and recommended repository, available for all {pve}
61 subscription users. It contains the most stable packages and is suitable for
62 production use. The `pve-enterprise` repository is enabled by default:
64 .File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list`
66 deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-enterprise
69 The `root@pam` user is notified via email about available updates. Click the
70 'Changelog' button in the GUI to see more details about the selected update.
72 You need a valid subscription key to access the `pve-enterprise` repository.
73 Different support levels are available. Further details can be found at
74 https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing.
76 NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line using a
77 `#` (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages if you do not have
78 a subscription key. Please configure the `pve-no-subscription` repository in
81 [[sysadmin_no_subscription_repo]]
82 {pve} No-Subscription Repository
83 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
85 This is the recommended repository for testing and non-production use. Its
86 packages are not as heavily tested and validated. You don't need a subscription key
87 to access the `pve-no-subscription` repository.
89 We recommend to configure this repository in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.

185 The 'Release' files in the repositories are signed with GnuPG. APT is using
186 these signatures to verify that all packages are from a trusted source.
188 If you install {pve} from an official ISO image, the key for verification is
191 If you install {pve} on top of Debian, download and install
192 the key with the following commands:
195 # wget https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg
198 Verify the checksum afterwards with the `sha512sum` CLI tool:
201 # sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg
