Yes, I know it's been a while since my last story; but I am back and have a lot to write about. So let's start off with some HomeLab action. I have a ProxMox server in my HomeLab and one of the issues is updates. ProxMox is open source but they make it so that running an essential apt-get update does not work. So let's fix that. Run the following commands:

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
cp pve-enterprise.list pve-no-subscription.list

Great you have CD into the sources and copied the enterprise repositories in case you need them. Next let's make some modifications. Go inside the “pve-enterprise.list”

vi pve-enterprise.list

Then commit out the entire line like so:

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

Save then exit.

Next, go into the “pve-no-subscription.list” file and modify the following:

from:

deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-enterprise

to:

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster…
