Proxmox Community Repository Mirror Guide

01 — DISABLE ENTERPRISE

Remove the subscription-only source

If this node does not have a paid subscription, disable the enterprise source before refreshing APT.

shell

# Rename whichever enterprise source exists; the change is reversible.
if [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.sources ]; then
  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.sources.disabled
fi
if [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list ]; then
  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list.disabled
fi

02 — COMMUNITY REPOSITORY

Add the mirrored pve-no-subscription source

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/proxmox.sources

Types: deb
URIs: https://mirror.sepehrsabz.ir/proxmox/debian/pve
Suites: trixie
Components: pve-no-subscription
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/proxmox-archive-keyring.gpg

PVE 9 uses Debian's deb822 source format. The Proxmox archive keyring is already installed on standard Proxmox VE nodes.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/proxmox-archive-keyring.gpg] https://mirror.sepehrsabz.ir/proxmox/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription

03 — OPTIONAL CEPH REPOSITORY

Use only the Ceph generation deployed by the cluster

Proxmox VE	Common Ceph source
PVE 9 / Trixie	`https://mirror.sepehrsabz.ir/proxmox/debian/ceph-squid`
PVE 8 / Bookworm	`https://mirror.sepehrsabz.ir/proxmox/debian/ceph-reef`

Do not switch Ceph generations casually. Match the repository to the Ceph release already selected for the cluster and follow Proxmox's documented upgrade sequence.

04 — UPDATE & VERIFY

Refresh APT and confirm the mirror is selected

shell

sudo apt update
apt-cache policy pve-manager
pveversion --verbose

apt-cache policy should show a candidate package URL beginning with https://mirror.sepehrsabz.ir/proxmox/debian/pve.

05 — IMPORTANT NOTES

Community channel expectations

The no-subscription channel is intended for evaluation and non-production use. Proxmox recommends its enterprise repository for production systems because those packages receive additional validation and require a subscription.

This mirror changes only where APT downloads packages. It does not remove the Proxmox subscription notice, provide an enterprise subscription, or replace the normal Debian and Debian Security repositories.
