Proxmox Update No Subscription Repository Configuration for Home Lab

[@Bananen_Paul]

Dude saved me a decade of time, huge thanks from Germany !

[@MrDenzo1]

Can also be done from GUI

[@PeterKocic]

i was looking but couldn't find it again ....argh, where...now i ended up doing it cli anyhow

[@tmakademia3526]

@@PeterKocic Click on your server at left, then -> Updates -> Repositories. There you can change or add your no-subscription...

[@InsaiyanTech]

Should make a video of ten tips I do every time I do on a fresh install on proxmox for 2024

[@JonathanArmstrong514]

Yes please.

[@accesser]

Great topic considering lots of us are moving off ESXI, I'd love to see a guide how to backup VMs from ESXI , clean wipe the host to Proxmox and import you VMs into the fresh instance

[@bluesquadron593]

I think as others mentioned, GUI option is faster. But I understand why you would want to also show the command line way as well. However you have skipped GUI all together...

[@Bogomil76]

Why? There is a button in the web management to disable enterprise and to add the No-Subscription.

[@VirtualizationHowto]

@Bogomil76 Thank you for the comment! Editing the files is a bit more standardized across versions and I don't like to rely on GUI mechanisms for some of these types of changes. Also, automation is a great consideration since you can automate this process via the configuration file changes.

[@JamesGreen-gv4yn]

For the OCD out there. The apt command will read all of the files ending in '.list' inside the '/etc/apt/sources.list.d' directory. This means that the lines can be in any file in that directory. Having the file 'pve-enterprise.list' contain the no-subscription reference is less than idea. Better would be to either remove that file or rename it to something like 'pve-enterprise.list.off' and create a new 'pve-no-subscription.list' file that contains the desired reference. Since 'ceph.list' doesn't indicate which is in use, editing that file is good. Although, if you don't want commented out lines in your files, you could also rename that one and create a new of that same name or use 'ceph-no-subscription.list' so people know what is going on just by looking at the directory.

[@martyg2333]

So just in case you're a newb like me, this works, however the warning does not go away. After I performed the steps I did a reboot and still saw the message so I assumed I did it wrong. Nope, the message stays regardless. Haha derp

[@alexanderg9106]

´why did you make it sooo complicated. Starting version 8 you can do this in the gui under repostory management... But itis always good to have a way without the gui or understand what the button in the gui does.

[@hyperprotagonist]

This is the first task in my ansible playbook. Followed by removing the subscription nag. 😅

[@SFDatascientest]

Hello Thanks for the video ! at 5:42 i have this problem [ Error writing /ect/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list: No such file or directory ] can you help me please ?

[@T3hBeowulf]

Despite this being an option in the GUI as others have pointed out, one of the big advantages of pointing out how to do this via the command line is that you now have a gateway to automate this change via Ansible.

[@VirtualizationHowto]

@T3hBeowulf Thank you for your comment as always! Definitely automation is a huge consideration. I don't like to rely on the GUI for these types of changes.

[@JamesGreen-gv4yn]

Funny you should mention that. There is a collection in Ansible Galaxy called proxmox_openssh that has a role that contains that very step. I tried to include a link, but the comment got auto removed.

[@hornetbad]

it's better doing it from GUI

[@ilbeypoy]

it so easy thx bro

[@randomicon918]

Your method is so convoluded! Easy way: GUI > click your prox name > Repositories > Disable entries that say Enterprise > Add > [Click OK if you get the popup] > Dropdown: No-subscription > Add Done in 10 seconds.

[@Velai_Vai]

It might be convoluted but at least you know exactly what you're doing.

[@SB-qm5wg]

Thank you.

[@aappiah1]

Thanks this helped me.

good sharing

[@jeffer8762]

i couldn;t get my promox to detect my intel x540-t2, do you have any idea?

[@bgmontenegro]

Gracias muy útil tutorial y fácil de comprender.

[@vhoangson]

Thank you so much ! You saved my day !

[@vaposhack]

I'd totally buy a subscription to help support and keep pro features from being locked out, but the per socket pricing is archaic. I get paying for support where the size of your infrastructure may come into play, but it would be nice if they offered sub $100 a year site licenses for "enterprise" updates only (with no support). My fear is, especially with VMware's collapse, the accountants will take over and start locking out the annoying community that helped make proxmox as popular as it is.

[@JustinJ.]

Its already available on their website under pricing, 110 Euros a year per CPU

[@johnvanwinkle4351]

Thanks for this tip! I was wondering how to get rid of the nagware message.....grin

[@bluesquadron593]

There is a one liner commands for this. However it will come back after main updates. You just re-run it

[@lwa.dev74]

Thanks for this :-)

[@AndreasR1]

Thank you!

[@ulrikboesen]

I wonder the same.

[@aiwa501]

Thank you!

[@vhenriquez240277]

thanks a lot

[@GreyK-s7q]

is not secure. How proxmox is checking what files are not changed by mitm?
