Debian Package Repositories
---------------------------
All Debian based systems use APT_ as package management tool. The list of
repositories is defined in ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` and ``.list`` files found
in the ``/etc/apt/sources.d/`` directory. Updates can be installed directly
with the ``apt`` command line tool, or via the GUI.
APT_ ``sources.list`` files list one package repository per line, with the most
preferred source listed first. Empty lines are ignored and a ``#`` character
anywhere on a line marks the remainder of that line as a comment. The
information available from the configured sources is acquired by ``apt
update``.
.. code-block:: sources.list
:caption: File: ``/etc/apt/sources.list``

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

.. FIXME for 7.0: change security update suite to bullseye-security
In addition, you need a package repositories from Proxmox to get the backup
server updates.
During the Proxmox Backup beta phase only one repository (pbstest) will be
available. Once released, a Enterprise repository for production use and a
no-subscription repository will be provided.

`Proxmox Backup`_ Enterprise Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will be the default, stable, and recommended repository. It is available for
all `Proxmox Backup`_ subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
and is suitable for production use. The ``pbs-enterprise`` repository is
enabled by default:
.. note:: During the Proxmox Backup beta phase only one repository (pbstest)
will be available.
.. code-block:: sources.list
:caption: File: ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbs-enterprise.list``
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbs-enterprise
To never miss important security fixes, the superuser (``root@pam`` user) is
notified via email about new packages as soon as they are available. The
change-log and details of each package can be viewed in the GUI (if available).
Please note that you need a valid subscription key to access this
repository. More information regarding subscription levels and pricing can be
found at https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-backup/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
``pbs-no-subscription`` repository in that case.
`Proxmox Backup`_ No-Subscription Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
use. It is not recommended to use it on production servers, because these
packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
We recommend to configure this repository in ``/etc/apt/sources.list``.

`Proxmox Backup`_ Beta Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During the public beta, there is a repository called ``pbstest``. This one
contains the latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new
features.
.. .. warning:: the ``pbstest`` repository should (as the name implies)
only be used to test new features or bug fixes.
You can configure this using ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` by adding the following
line:
.. code-block:: sources.list
:caption: sources.list entry for ``pbstest``
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbstest
If you installed Proxmox Backup Server from the official beta ISO you should
have this repository already configured in
``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbstest-beta.list``
