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 inside
|
|
``/etc/apt/sources.d/``. Updates can be installed directly using
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|

.. FIXME for 7.0: change security update suite to bullseye-security
|
|
|
|
In addition, Proxmox provides three different package repositories for
|
|
the backup server binaries.
|
|
|
|
`Proxmox Backup`_ Enterprise Repository
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This is the default, stable and recommended repository, 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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sources.list
|
|
:caption: File: ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbs-enterprise.list``
|
|
|
|
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbs-enterprise
|
|
|
|
|
|
As soon as updates are available, the superuser (``root@pam`` user) is
|
|
notified via email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the
|
|
change-log of each package can be viewed (if available), showing all
|
|
details of the update. So you will never miss important security
|
|
fixes.
|
|
|
|
Please note that you need a valid subscription key to access this
|
|
repository. We offer different support levels, and you can find further
|
|
details 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. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
|
|
packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
|
|
|
|
We recommend to configure this repository in ``/etc/apt/sources.list``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sources.list
|
|
:caption: File: ``/etc/apt/sources.list``
|
|

|
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib

# PBS pbs-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
|
|
# NOT recommended for production use
|
|
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/bps buster pbs-no-subscription
|
|
|
|
# security updates
|
|
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Proxmox Backup`_ Test Repository
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Finally, 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 for testing new features or bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
As usual, you can configure this using ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` by
|
|
adding the following line:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sources.list
|
|
:caption: sources.list entry for ``pbstest``
|
|
