Proxmox changes Sources

The official Proxmox provides a enterprise source, but we do not need to subscription a enterprise license in home use. We only need the free and well-supported community source. By the way, we get a limitation download speed from international connect (1Mbps approximately) in home use, even I bought 300Mbps download speed plan. Thus, need to change system software sources as well. It could use Tsinghua mirror, Ali Yun mirror andUSTC mirror。

The Proxmox 8 is based on Debian 12 (bookworm), thus, we need to change debian 12 sources. Comment all contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file and added following contents (need root authority):

bash

deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

# debian-security update
deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

First, delete Proxmox enterprise sources:

bash

rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list

I used tsinghua mirror, So, add USTC Proxmox sources into it

bash

echo "deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/proxmox/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list

bash

cp /usr/share/perl5/PVE/APLInfo.pm /usr/share/perl5/PVE/APLInfo.pm_back

Install vim, iperf3 and net-tools

bash

apt install vim net-tools iperf3
