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 stretch main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib
----

In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories.

{pve} Enterprise Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for
all {pve} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
and is suitable for production use. The `pve-enterprise` repository is
enabled by default:

.File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list`
----
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-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 https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing.

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
`pve-no-subscription` repository in that case.


{pve} 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 stretch main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib

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

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib
----


{pve} Test Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, there is a repository called `pvetest`. 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 `pvetest`
----
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pvetest
----

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

[[sysadmin_package_repositories_ceph]]
{pve} Ceph Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is {pve}'s main Ceph repository and holds the Ceph packages for
production use. You can also use this repository to update only the Ceph
client.

.File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list`
----
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-luminous stretch main
----


{pve} Ceph Testing Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Ceph repository contains the Ceph packages before they are moved into the
main repository and is used to test new Ceph release on {pve}.

.File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list`
----
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-luminous stretch test
----


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-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg

Please verify the checksum afterwards:

----
# sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
ffb95f0f4be68d2e753c8875ea2f8465864a58431d5361e88789568673551501ae574283a4e0492f17d79dc67edfb173a56a6304dea39e01f249ebdabc9f074a  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
----
