[[sysadmin_package_repositories]] Package Repositories -------------------- ifdef::wiki[] :pve-toplevel: endif::wiki[] {pve} uses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as its package management tool like any other Debian-based system. Repositories in {pve} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Repositories are a collection of software packages, they can be used to install new software, but are also important to get new updates. NOTE: You need valid Debian and Proxmox repositories to get the latest security updates, bug fixes and new features. APT Repositories are defined in the file `/etc/apt/sources.list` and in `.list` files placed in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`. Repository Management ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [thumbnail="screenshot/gui-node-repositories.png"] Since Proxmox VE 7.0 you can check the repository state in the web interface. The node summary panel shows a high level status overview, while the separate 'Repository' panel shows in-depth status and list of all configured repositories. Basic repository management, for example, activating or deactivating a repository, is also supported. Sources.list ^^^^^^^^^^^^ In a `sources.list` file, 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 (Node -> Updates). .File `/etc/apt/sources.list` ---- deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib # security updates deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib ---- {pve} 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 bullseye 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 bullseye main contrib deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib # PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com, # NOT recommended for production use deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription # security updates deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security 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 bullseye pvetest ---- WARNING: The `pvetest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used for testing new features or bug fixes. [[sysadmin_package_repositories_ceph]] Ceph Pacific Repository ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: Ceph Pacific (16.2) was declared stable with {pve} 7.0. This repository holds the main {pve} Ceph Pacific 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-pacific bullseye main ---- Ceph Pacific Test Repository ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Ceph repository contains the Ceph Pacific 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-pacific bullseye test ---- [[sysadmin_package_repositories_ceph_octopus]] Ceph Octopus Repository ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: Ceph Octopus (15.2) was declared stable with {pve} 6.3 it will continue to get updates for the xref:faq-support-table[remaining life time of the 6.x release] and also for {pve} 7.x until Ceph Octopus upstream EOL (~ 2022-07). This repository holds the main {pve} Ceph Octopus 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-octopus bullseye main ---- Note that on an older {pve} 6.x you need to change `bullseye` to `buster` in the repository specification above. Ceph Octopus Test 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-octopus bullseye test ---- [[repos_secure_apt]] 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 https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg ---- Verify the checksum afterwards with the `sha512sum` CLI tool: ---- # sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg 7fb03ec8a1675723d2853b84aa4fdb49a46a3bb72b9951361488bfd19b29aab0a789a4f8c7406e71a69aabbc727c936d3549731c4659ffa1a08f44db8fdcebfa /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg ---- or the `md5sum` CLI tool: ---- # md5sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg bcc35c7173e0845c0d6ad6470b70f50e /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg ---- ifdef::wiki[] // include note about older releases, but only for wiki {pve} 6.x Repositories ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {pve} 6.x is based on Debian 10.x (``buster''). Please note that this release is out of date. Existing installations should be updated. Nevertheless access to these repositories is still provided. [width="100%",cols="
