Proxmox VE uses APT as itspackage management tool like any other Debian-based system.
Proxmox VE automatically checks for package updates on a daily basis. The root@pamuser is notified via email about available updates. From the GUI, theChangelog button can be used to see more details about an selected update.
Repositories in Proxmox VE
Repositories are a collection of software packages, they can be used to installnew software, but are also important to get new updates.
 | You need valid Debian and Proxmox repositories to get the latestsecurity updates, bug fixes and new features. |
APT Repositories are defined in the file /etc/apt/sources.list and in .listfiles placed in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.
Repository Management
Since Proxmox VE 7, you can check the repository state in the web interface.The node summary panel shows a high level status overview, while the separateRepository panel shows in-depth status and list of all configuredrepositories.
Basic repository management, for example, activating or deactivating arepository, is also supported.
Sources.list
In a sources.list file, each line defines a package repository. The preferredsource must come first. Empty lines are ignored. A # character anywhere on aline marks the remainder of that line as a comment. The available packages froma repository are acquired by running apt-get update. Updates can be installeddirectly using apt-get, or via the GUI (Node → Updates).

Proxmox VE provides three different package repositories.
Proxmox VE Enterprise Repository
This is the recommended repository and available for all Proxmox VE subscriptionusers. 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.listdeb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-enterprise
Please note that you need a valid subscription key to access thepve-enterprise repository. We offer different support levels, which you canfind further details about at https://proxmox.com/en/proxmox-virtual-environment/pricing.
| You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line using a# (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages if your host doesnot have a subscription key. Please configure the pve-no-subscriptionrepository in that case. |
Proxmox VE No-Subscription Repository
As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to accessthis repository. It can be used for testing and non-productionuse. It’s not recommended to use this on production servers, as thesepackages are not always as heavily tested and validated.
We recommend to configure this repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Debian Firmware Repository

Enable this repository if you want to set upEarly OS Microcode Updates or need additionalRuntime Firmware Files not alreadyincluded in the pre-installed package pve-firmware.
To be able to install packages from this component, runeditor /etc/apt/sources.list, append non-free-firmware to the end of each.debian.org repository line and run apt update.
SecureApt
The Release files in the repositories are signed with GnuPG. APT is usingthese signatures to verify that all packages are from a trusted source.
If you install Proxmox VE from an official ISO image, the key for verification isalready installed.
If you install Proxmox VE on top of Debian, download and installthe key with the following commands:
# wget https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg
Verify the checksum afterwards with the sha512sum CLI tool:
# sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg7da6fe34168adc6e479327ba517796d4702fa2f8b4f0a9833f5ea6e6b48f6507a6da403a274fe201595edc86a84463d50383d07f64bdde2e3658108db7d6dc87 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg
or the md5sum CLI tool:
# md5sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg41558dc019ef90bd0f6067644a51cf5b /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg
