Administration
==============
The Administration GUI allows you to do common administration tasks
like updating software packages, manage quarantine, view service
status and manage mail queues. It also provides server statistics in
order to verify server health.
Server Administration
---------------------
Server status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
image::images/screenshot/pmg-gui-server-status.png[]
This page shows server statistics about CPU, memory, disk and network
usage. You can select the displayed time span on the upper right.
Administrators can open a terminal window using the 'Console'
button. It is also possible to trigger a server 'Restart' or
'Shutdown'.
Services
~~~~~~~~
image::images/screenshot/pmg-gui-service-status.png[]
This panel lists all major services used for mail processing and
cluster synchronization. If necessary, you can start, stop or restart
them. The 'Syslog' button shows the system log filtered for the
selected service.
Please note that {pmg} uses {systemd} to manage services, so you can
also use the standard `systemctl` command line tool to manage or view
service status, for example:
-----
systemctl status postfix
-----
Updates
~~~~~~~
image::images/screenshot/pmg-gui-updates.png[]
We release software updates on a regular basis, and it is recommended
to always run the latest available version. This page shows the
available updates, and administrator can run an upgrade by pressing
the 'Upgrade' button.
See section xref:pmg_package_repositories[Package Repositories] for
details abaout available package repositories.

[[pmg_package_repositories]]
Package Repositories
--------------------
All {debian} based systems use
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as 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-get`, or via the GUI.
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-get update`.
.File `/etc/apt/sources.list`
----
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib
----
In addition, {pmg} provides three different package repositories.
{pmg} Enterprise Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for
all {pmg} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
and is suitable for production use. The `pmg-enterprise` repository is
enabled by default:
.File `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmg-enterprise.list`
----
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pmg stretch pmg-enterprise
----
As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via
email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of
each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the
update. So you will never miss important security fixes.
Please note that and you need a valid subscription key to access this
repository. We offer different support levels, and you can find further
details at https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-mail-gateway/pricing.
NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line
using a `#` (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages
if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the
`pmg-no-subscription` repository in that case.
{pmg} No-Subscription Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
We recommend to configure this repository in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.
.File `/etc/apt/sources.list`
----
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib
# PMG pmg-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pmg stretch pmg-no-subscription
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main contrib
----
{pmg} Test Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, there is a repository called `pmgtest`. This one contains the
latest packages and is heavily used by developers to test new
features. As usual, you can configure this using
`/etc/apt/sources.list` by adding the following line:
.sources.list entry for `pmgtest`
----
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pmg stretch pmgtest
----
WARNING: the `pmgtest` repository should (as the name implies) only be used
for testing new features or bug fixes.
SecureApt
~~~~~~~~~
We use GnuPG to sign the `Release` files inside those repositories,
and APT uses that signatures to verify that all packages are from a
trusted source.
The key used for verification is already installed if you install from
our installation CD. If you install by other means, you can manually
download the key with:
# wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
Please verify the checksum afterwards:
