Can anyone comment on update/package stability when using the free version of Proxmox. It's my understanding that only the paid license allows access to stable repos. I find the community tier price a bit too expensive for my current home use case (mostly nas + plex).
- LeoPanthera 5y agoBeen running the free version for a couple of years now. No problems at all. I update and reboot it maybe once a month, or whenever there's a severe security update (that I don't miss). It's uneventful.
- radiowave 5y agoLikewise, have run it for years on a bunch of machines, never had a problem. I think I've got at least one that's been dist-upgraded all the way from a 4.x release to the current 7.0.
- sokoloff 5y agoSame. I’ve been running it a little over 2 years for home/family services and it’s been entirely stable for me. I update slightly less often than parent comment, but have had zero issues from updates.
- RamRodification 5y agoYour understanding is correct. See here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories We run Proxmox for non-production-critical VMs. Nothing fancy, just Proxmox hosts, iSCSI storage and standard VMs on that (Windows and Linux). Every now and then we update hosts using the No-Subscription Repository. No issues from that so far. Maybe if we updated more frequently we would see more issues. I think we only do it once or twice between each new official version release. That's out of laziness/lack of time, not out of fear of issues from less tested packages.
- solarkraft 5y agoHave been running it as a Debian system (realized I don’t need Proxmox, but already had some stuff set up) for about a year and had no idea. Absolutely no problems.
