Fixing oddities

Get rid of the bloody subscription notice

Remove Proxmox Subscription Notice

Get non-paid Proxmox to actually do updates

By default, Proxmox enables http://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve as its update repository.

You have to have a PAID subscription to use this repository...

Updates FAIL if this repository is enabled.

To fix this, you must MANUALLY edit /etc/apt/sources.list (Don't know WHY it can't be added in the GUI...)

• vi /etc/apt/sources.list

& add in:

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

Then:

• Sign into the GUI
• Select your 'Node'
• Select 'Repositories'
• Select 'https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve'
• Hit the 'Disable' button

(Sure would be nice if this could either be completely done on the command line or done automatically during install...)

Server addressing via DHCP instead of static

Edit the interfaces file:

• vi /etc/network/interfaces

& change

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.8.12/23
        gateway 192.168.8.1
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

to

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

Then ignore the address it shows on the console. (Until I figure out where in hell it's storing that...)
