I'm using Proxmox, without the subscription, for my private little experiments.
With that I noticed an update warning "TASK ERROR: command 'apt-get update' failed: exit code 100".
Looking at it in a shell, running apt-get update, I noticed errors with the source of the updates, to find out that as a non-paying users, I cannot use the enterprise grade update sources. So that sucks ... but there is a fix for it.
Open a shell, and got to the directory where the update source files are:
cd /etc cd apt/sources.list.d/
(Note: modsecurity, the rules that protect this website, didn't like it when I typed this in one sentence - any experts out there that can help, it's rule 950018)
Here we will create two files.
Tip: I like using "nano" as a text editor, which you close with CTRL+X.
nano pve-no-subscription.list
and paste this content in this first file;
# For non-paying users: # NOT recommended for production use deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription # security updates deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib
Now create the next file:
nano ceph-no-subscription.list
And paste this in that file:
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-reef bookworm no-subscription
Now that we updated these sources, we will need to do a few updates:
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
Seems recommended, I'm not an expert, to always run "apt-get dist-upgrade", and not just "apt-get upgrade".
I read somewhere that dist-upgrade ensures that all packages and their dependencies are updated.
Also not that the no-subscription repositories may not be guaranteed to be stable and more likely to be cutting edge. So Promox does not recommended this for enterprise/production environments.
