How to Remove the Proxmox Subscription Warning

Introduction

If you don’t have a paid Proxmox subscription, you’ll see a warning about the Enterprise repository. This is normal for home labs, but you can easily switch to the free no-subscription repository and get rid of the alert.

Steps to Fix the Warning

Step 1: Open the Proxmox APT sources file

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

Step 2: Disable the enterprise repository

Add a # at the start of the line so it looks like this:

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

Step 3: Add the no-subscription repository

Open your main sources list:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add this line if it’s not already there:

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription

Step 4: If you use Ceph, disable the enterprise Ceph repo (Optional)

Edit the Ceph sources file:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list

Comment out the enterprise line and add the no-subscription one:

# deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm enterprise
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm no-subscription

Step 5: Update your package lists

apt-get update

That’s it! The warning should be gone, and you’ll still get updates from the free repository.

Conclusion

Now you can use Proxmox without the subscription warning. This is perfect for home labs or testing environments where you don’t need a paid subscription. Enjoy your Proxmox experience without the distraction of the subscription alert!
