Package Repositories
--------------------
All {debian} based systems use
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as a package
management tool. The list of repositories is defined in
`/etc/apt/sources.list` and `.list` files found inside
`/etc/apt/sources.d/`. Updates can be installed directly using
`apt`, or via the GUI.
{pmg} uses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as its
package management tool like any other Debian-based system.
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`.
Repositories in {pmg}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Repositories are a collection of software packages. They can be used to install
new software, but are also important to get new updates.
NOTE: You need valid Debian and Proxmox repositories to get the latest
security updates, bug fixes and new features.
APT Repositories are defined in the file `/etc/apt/sources.list` and in `.list`
files placed in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`.
Repository Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[thumbnail="pmg-gui-admin-repositories.png"]
Since {pmg} 7.0 you can check the repository state in the web interface. The
'Dashboard' shows a high level status overview, while the separate 'Repository'
panel (accessible via 'Administration') shows in-depth status and list of all
configured repositories.
Basic repository management, for example, activating or deactivating a
repository, is also supported.
Sources.list
^^^^^^^^^^^^
In a `sources.list` file, each line defines a package repository. The preferred
source must come first. Empty lines are ignored. A `#` character anywhere on a
line marks the remainder of that line as a comment. The available packages from
a repository are acquired by running `apt update`. Updates can be installed
directly using `apt`, or via the GUI (Administration -> Updates).
