18, July 2022

Updating proxmox is super simple and easy to do. However, it's not just a simple apt-get update/upgrade for the first time. Note this should only be used in non-enterprise and non-production applications. Perfect for your homelab and free.

• First, get into your shell via the web GUI, or SSH into your proxmox server as root.

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

• Now enter the following lines which will give you updates for your Proxmox server:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contribv
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

• Exit and save the sources.list file and now enter the command below to disable enterprise repositories:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list

• You should see the line below, simply comment out that line with a #:

#deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-enterprise

• Exit and save and run the command below to upgrade your system:

apt dist-upgrade

• Now your updates are done, reboot your system the command below and check your version number in the web GUI.
