   1 Package Repositories
   2 --------------------

   5 All Debian based systems use
   6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as package
   7 management tool. The list of repositories is defined in
   8 '/etc/apt/sources.list' and '.list' files found inside
   9 '/etc/apt/sources.d/'. Updates can be installed directly using
  10 'apt-get', or via the GUI.
  11
  12 Apt 'sources.list' files list one package repository per line, with
  13 the most preferred source listed first. Empty lines are ignored, and a
  14 '#' character anywhere on a line marks the remainder of that line as a
  15 comment. The information available from the configured sources is
  16 acquired by 'apt-get update'.

  26 In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories.
  27
  28 {pve} Enterprise Repository
  29 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  30
  31 This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for
  32 all {pve} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
  33 and is suitable for production use. The `pve-enterprise` repository is
  34 enabled by default:
  35
  36 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list'
  37 ----
  38 deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise
  39 ----
  40
  41 As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via
  42 email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of
  43 each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the
  44 update. So you will never miss important security fixes.
  45
  46 Please note that and you need a valid subscription key to access this
  47 repository. We offer different support levels, and you can find further
  48 details at http://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing.
  49
  50 NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line
  51 using a '#' (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages
  52 if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the
  53 `pve-no-subscription` repository in that case.
  54
  55
  56 {pve} No-Subscription Repository
  57 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  58
  59 As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
  60 this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
  61 use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
  62 packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
  63
  64 We recommend to configure this repository in '/etc/apt/sources.list'.
  65
  66 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list'

  68 deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib

  77
  78
  79 {pve} Test Repository
  80 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  81
  82 Finally, there is a repository called `pvetest`. This one contains the
  83 latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new
  84 features. As usual, you can configure this using
  85 '/etc/apt/sources.list' by adding the following line:
  86
  87 .sources.list entry for `pvetest`
  88 ----
  89 deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pvetest
  90 ----
  91
  92 WARNING: the `pvetest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used
  93 for testing new features or bug fixes.

 100 {pve} 3.x Repositories
 101 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 102
 103 {pve} 3.x is based on Debian 7.x ('wheezy'). Please note that this
 104 release is out of date, and you should update your
 105 installation. Nevertheless, we still provide access to those
 106 repositories at our download servers.

 119 NOTE: Apt 'sources.list' configuration files are basically the same as
 120 in newer 4.x versions - just replace 'jessie' with 'wheezy'.
 121
 122 Outdated: 'stable' Repository 'pve'
 123 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 124
 125 This repository is a leftover to easy the update to 3.1. It will not
 126 get any updates after the release of 3.1. Therefore you need to remove
 127 this repository after you upgraded to 3.1.
