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.
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'.
18 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list'
20 deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib
23 deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib
26 In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories.
28 {pve} Enterprise Repository
29 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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. You need a valid subscription key
34 to access this repository. The `pve-enterprise` repository is enabled
37 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list'
39 deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise
42 NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line
43 using a '#' (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages
44 if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the
45 `pve-no-subscription` repository in that case.
47 As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via
48 email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of
49 each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the
50 update. So you will never miss important security fixes.
52 {pve} No-Subscription Repository
53 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
55 As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
56 this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
57 use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
58 packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
60 We recommend to configure this repository in '/etc/apt/sources.list'.
62 .File '/etc/apt/sources.list'
64 deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib
66 # PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
67 # NOT recommended for production use
68 deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-no-subscription
71 deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib
76 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
78 Finally, there is a repository called `pvetest`. This one contains the
79 latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new
80 features. As usual, you can configure this using
81 '/etc/apt/sources.list' by adding the following line:
83 .sources.list entry for `pvetest`
85 deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pvetest
88 WARNING: the `pvetest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used
89 for testing new features or bug fixes.
