Hi, ive been having this issue since yesterday that i can't seem to fix. Ive been asked to create a proxmox server VM inside my actual proxmox server, but nothing's been working so far. I followed the same steps i did for my actual server, from setting up the network to disabling the enterprise repositories but i keep getting the same errors:

starting apt-get update

TASK ERROR: command 'apt-get update' failed: exit code 100

I checked and i can ping anything, i don't have any issue with my dns, and ive already set up a lot of different VMs with the same network configuration as what i did for this one yet it doesn't work. I thought i could get away with it and just start working on the containers and not care about the updates, but that's what im getting when i try to download a template:


HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2025-06-10 10:18:39 ERROR 404: Not Found.
TASK ERROR: download failed: exit code 8

It's getting quite urgent i really need some help :((
 
Can you try to download a Release File manually with curl and report back what it shows?

Code:
curl -v http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/bookworm/Release

sounds like something is interfering with traffic.. a (transparent) proxy or MITM box perhaps?
