Not Getting PVE 7.3 Update Notifications

[kwat]

I’m using PVE 7.3-6. I am getting email notifications from backup jobs but NOT when package updates are available. Under Datacenter>Users>root@pam, I have entered my gmail email account. The same email account is used in Datacenter>Backups>jobs>Send email to.

I am having the same issue with PBS 2.3. Any ideas on why I am not getting the notifications of new packages available?

Proxmox VE/BS only sends update notifications when you enter a subscription license.

EDIT: This is longer correct and I can retire my own little script. I could not find this in the current Proxmox HTML manual, but it is in the GUI.

Hi,
if you have no subscription, did you configure the Package Updates setting in Datacenter > Options > Notify to Always?

From man datacenter.cfg:

notify: package-updates=<auto|always|never>
           Cluster-wide notification settings.

           package-updates=<always | auto | never> (default = auto)
               Control how often the daily update job should send out notification mails:

               •   auto daily for systems with a valid subscription, as those are assumed to be production-ready and thus should know about pending updates.

               •   always every update, if there are new pending updates.

               •   never never send a notification for new pending updates.

EDIT: AFAIK, it's not currently possible with PBS (it behaves like the auto here). You might want to create a feature request akin to this one, but for PBS: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com
