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
.
/etc/apt/sources.list
¶deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
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 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.
You can configure this using /etc/apt/sources.list
by adding the following
line:
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
