============
{pmg} is based on Debian and comes with an installation CD-ROM
-which includes a complete Debian ("stretch" for version 5.x) system as
+which includes a complete Debian ("buster" for version 6.x) system as
well as all necessary {pmg} packages.
The installer just asks you a few questions, then partitions the local
system. This option is only recommended for advanced users since
it requires more detailed knowledge about {pmg} and Debian.

Using the {pmg} Installation CD-ROM
-----------------------------------
-Includes the following:
+You can download the ISO from http://www.proxmox.com. It includes the
+following:
* Complete operating system (Debian Linux, 64-bit)
-* Partitioning of the hard drive(s) containing the operating system
- with ext4, ext3, xfs or ZFS
+* The {pmg} installer, which partitions the hard drive(s) with ext4,
+ ext3, xfs or ZFS and installs the operating system.
* Linux kernel
* Web based management interface for using the toolset
-Please insert the installation CD-ROM, then boot from that
-drive. Immediately afterwards you can choose the following menu
-options:
+Please burn the downloaded ISO image to a CD or create a
+xref:create_bootable_usb[bootable USB stick].
+
+Then insert the installation CD-ROM on the physical host where you want
+to install {pmg} and boot from that drive. Immediately afterwards you
+can choose the following menu options:

- Include lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, numbers and symbols.
-- Avoid character repetition, keyboard patterns, dictionary words, letter or number sequences, usernames, relative or pet names, romantic links (current or past) and biographical information (e.g., ID numbers, ancestors' names or dates).
+- Avoid character repetition, keyboard patterns, dictionary words, letter or
+ number sequences, usernames, relative or pet names, romantic links (current
+ or past) and biographical information (e.g., ID numbers, ancestors' names or
+ dates).
It is sometimes necessary to send notification to the system
administrator, for example:
point your browser to the IP address given during installation
(https://youripaddress:8006).
+image::images/screenshot/pmg-gui-login-window.png[]
+
+. Login and upload subscription key.
++
NOTE: Default login is "root" and the root password is
defined during the installation process.
+. Check the IP configuration and hostname.
+
+. Check and save the Time Zone.
+
+. Check your xref:firewall_settings[Firewall settings].
+
+. Configure {pmg} to forward the incoming SMTP traffic to your Mail
+server ('Configuration/Mail Proxy/Default Relay') - 'Default
+Relay' is your e-mail server.
+
+. Configure your e-mail server to send all outgoing messages through
+your {pmg} ('Smart Host', port 26 by default).
+
+For detailed deployment scenarios see chapter
+xref:chapter_deployment[Planning for Deployment].
+
+If the installation succeeds you have to route all your incoming and
+outgoing e-mail traffic to the Mail Gateway. For incoming traffic you
+have to configure your firewall and/or DNS settings. For outgoing
+traffic you need to change the existing e-mail server configuration.

Install {pmg} on Debian
-----------------------
NOTE: In general, this is not trivial, especially when you use LVM or
ZFS.
+
+
+[[pmg_install_on_debian_container]]
+Install {pmg} as Linux Container Appliance
+------------------------------------------
+
+The full functionality of {pmg} can also run on top of a Debian-based LXC
+instance. In order to keep the set of installed software, and thus the
+necessary updates, minimal you can use the `proxmox-mailgateway-container`
+meta-package. It does not depend on any Linux Kernel, firmware, or components
+used for booting from bare-metal, like grub2.
+
+A ready-to-use appliance template is available through the
+https://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve[Proxmox VE] appliance manager in the `mail`
+section, so if you already use Proxmox VE you can setup a {pmg} instance in a
+minute.
+
+NOTE: It's recommended to use a static network configuration. If DHCP should be
+used ensure that the container can always lease the same IP, for example, by
+reserving one with the containers network MAC address.
+
+Additionally you can also install this on top of a normal Debian installation.
+After configuring the repositories, you need to run:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+apt-get update
+apt-get install proxmox-mailgateway-container
+----
+
+
+[[pmg_package_repositories]]
+Package Repositories
+--------------------
+
+All {debian} based systems use
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as package
+management tool. The list of repositories is defined in
+`/etc/apt/sources.list` and `.list` files found inside
+`/etc/apt/sources.d/`. Updates can be installed directly using
+`apt-get`, or via the GUI.
+
+Apt `sources.list` files list one package repository per line, with
+the most preferred source listed first. Empty lines are ignored, and a
+`#` character anywhere on a line marks the remainder of that line as a
+comment. The information available from the configured sources is
+acquired by `apt-get update`.
+
+.File `/etc/apt/sources.list`
+----
+deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
+
+deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib
+
+# security updates
+deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main contrib
+----
+
+In addition, {pmg} provides three different package repositories.
+
+
+{pmg} Enterprise Repository
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for
+all {pmg} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
+and is suitable for production use. The `pmg-enterprise` repository is
+enabled by default:
+
+.File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmg-enterprise.list`
+----
+deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pmg buster pmg-enterprise
+----
+
+As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via
+email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of
+each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the
+update. So you will never miss important security fixes.
+
+Please note that and you need a valid subscription key to access this
+repository. We offer different support levels, and you can find further
+details at {pricing-url}.
+
+NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line
+using a `#` (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages
+if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the
+`pmg-no-subscription` repository in that case.
+
+
+{pmg} No-Subscription Repository
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
+this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
+use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
+packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
+
+We recommend to configure this repository in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.
+
+.File `/etc/apt/sources.list`
+----
+deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
+
+# PMG pmg-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
+# NOT recommended for production use
+deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pmg buster pmg-no-subscription
+
+# security updates
+deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main contrib
+----
+
+
+{pmg} Test Repository
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Finally, there is a repository called `pmgtest`. This one contains the
+latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new
+features. As usual, you can configure this using
+`/etc/apt/sources.list` by adding the following line:
+
+.sources.list entry for `pmgtest`
+----
+deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pmg buster pmgtest
+----
+
+WARNING: the `pmgtest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used
+for testing new features or bug fixes.
+
+
+SecureApt
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+We use GnuPG to sign the `Release` files inside those repositories,
+and APT uses that signatures to verify that all packages are from a
+trusted source.
+
+The key used for verification is already installed if you install from
+our installation CD. If you install by other means, you can manually
+download the key with:
+
+ # wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
+
+Please verify the checksum afterwards:
+
+----
+# sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
+acca6f416917e8e11490a08a1e2842d500b3a5d9f322c6319db0927b2901c3eae23cfb5cd5df6facf2b57399d3cfa52ad7769ebdd75d9b204549ca147da52626 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
+----
+
+or
+

+# md5sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
