Package Repositories

{pve} uses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as its
package management tool like any other Debian-based system. Repositories are
defined in the file `/etc/apt/sources.list` and in `.list` files placed in
`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`.

Each line defines a package repository. The preferred source must come first.
Empty lines are ignored. A `#` character anywhere on a line marks the remainder
of that line as a comment. The available packages from a repository are acquired
by running `apt-get update`. Updates can be installed directly using `apt-get`,
or via the GUI.

.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/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
----
// FIXME for 7.0: change security update suite to bullseye-security

{pve} additionally provides three different package repositories.

[[sysadmin_enterprise_repo]]
{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 buster pve-enterprise
----

The `root@pam` user is notified via email about available updates. Click the
'Changelog' button in the GUI to see more details about the selected update.

You need a valid subscription key to access the `pve-enterprise` repository.
Different support levels are available. Further details can be found 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.

[[sysadmin_no_subscription_repo]]
{pve} No-Subscription Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the recommended repository for testing and non-production use. Its
packages are not as heavily tested and validated. You don't need a subscription key
to access the `pve-no-subscription` repository.

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

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

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


[[sysadmin_test_repo]]
{pve} Test Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This repository contains the latest packages and is primarily used by developers
to test new features. To configure it, add the following line to
`etc/apt/sources.list`:

.sources.list entry for `pvetest`
----
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster 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 repository holds the main {pve} Ceph packages. They are suitable for
production. Use this repository if you run the Ceph client or a full Ceph
cluster on {pve}.

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


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

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

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

{pve} Ceph Luminous Repository For Upgrade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If Ceph is deployed this repository is needed for the upgrade from {pve} 5.x to
{pve} 6.0. It provides packages for the older Ceph Luminous release for {pve}
6.0.

The https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0[Upgrade 5.x to 6.0]
document explains how to use this repository in detail.

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

SecureApt
~~~~~~~~~

The 'Release' files in the repositories are signed with GnuPG. APT is using
these signatures to verify that all packages are from a trusted source.

If you install {pve} from an official ISO image, the key for verification is
already installed.

If you install {pve} on top of Debian, download and install
the key with the following commands:

----
 # wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
----

Verify the checksum afterwards with:

----
# sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
----

The output should be:

----
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
----
The output should be:

----
f3f6c5a3a67baf38ad178e5ff1ee270c /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
----
