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

  29 In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories.
  30
  31 {pve} Enterprise Repository
  32 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  33
  34 This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for
  35 all {pve} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
  36 and is suitable for production use. The `pve-enterprise` repository is
  37 enabled by default:
  38
  39 .File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list`
  40 ----
  41 deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-enterprise
  42 ----
  43
  44 As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via
  45 email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of
  46 each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the
  47 update. So you will never miss important security fixes.
  48
  49 Please note that and you need a valid subscription key to access this
  50 repository. We offer different support levels, and you can find further
  51 details at http://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing.
  52
  53 NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line
  54 using a `#` (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages
  55 if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the
  56 `pve-no-subscription` repository in that case.
  57
  58
  59 {pve} No-Subscription Repository
  60 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  61
  62 As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
  63 this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
  64 use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
  65 packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
  66
  67 We recommend to configure this repository in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.
  68
  69 .File `/etc/apt/sources.list`

  79 ----
  80
  81
  82 {pve} Test Repository
  83 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  84
  85 Finally, there is a repository called `pvetest`. This one contains the
  86 latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new
  87 features. As usual, you can configure this using
  88 `/etc/apt/sources.list` by adding the following line:
  89
  90 .sources.list entry for `pvetest`
  91 ----
  92 deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pvetest
  93 ----
  94
  95 WARNING: the `pvetest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used
  96 for testing new features or bug fixes.

  99 SecureApt
 100 ~~~~~~~~~
 101
 102 We use GnuPG to sign the `Release` files inside those repositories,
 103 and APT uses that signatures to verify that all packages are from a
 104 trusted source.
 105
 106 The key used for verification is already installed if you install from
 107 our installation CD. If you install by other means, you can manually
 108 download the key with:
 109
 110  # wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
 111
 112 Please verify the checksum afterwards:
