Configure no-subscription repositories and upgrade

I am using proxmox without subscription and edited 2 files through a shell spawned from proxmox gui to tell proxmox to use the non enterprise repositories that are configured by default.

Documentation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories

1. Remove enterprise sources list

   root@proxmox:~# cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
   root@proxmox:~# ls
   root@proxmox:~# rm pve-enterprise.list
   root@proxmox:~# cd ..
   

2. Create sources.list file

   root@proxmox:~# touch /etc/apt/sources.list
   

   or

   root@proxmox:~# nano sources.list
   

3. Add repositories to sources.list - the content should look like this

   deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
   deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib
   
   # Proxmox VE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
   # NOT recommended for production use
   deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription
   
   # security updates
   deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib
   

4. Configure ceph.list to use no-subscription repository - content shown here with cat command

   root@proxmox:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat ceph.list 
   # deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm enterprise
   deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm no-subscription
   

5. In the proxmox GUI go to node->updates and click update to fetch the list of available updates

6. Click upgrade to upgrade node and follow instructions in prompt
   TIP: Hibernate any running vm's before rebooting the node (right click vm and select hibernate, repeat for all vm's)
