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.
11 Apt 'sources.list' files lists one package repository per line, with
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'.
17 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list'
19 deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib
22 deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib
25 In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories.
27 {pve} Enterprise Repository
28 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
36 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list'
38 deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise
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.
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.
51 {pve} No-Subscription Repository
52 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
59 We recommend to configure this repository in '/etc/apt/sources.list'.
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
70 deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib
75 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:
82 .sources.list entry for `pvetest`
84 deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pvetest
