I'm trying to install the offline mirror and the repo is stating it is not available. I'm assuming I missed something?? This is what I get below...

root@testproxmox:~# apt install proxmox-offline-mirror
Reading package lists... Done

Package proxmox-offline-mirror is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
proxmox-offline-mirror-helper proxmox-offline-mirror-docs



E: Package 'proxmox-offline-mirror' has no installation candidate
 
Do you have a active Proxmox VE subscription and a Proxmox Offline Mirror key?
If not then you cannot install Proxmox Offline Mirror as it requires a active Subscription and you need to ask Proxmox for a offline mirror key.


See:
https://pom.proxmox.com/offline-mirror.html

EDIT:
You do not need to ask Proxmox for a key for the offline mirror but you do need to add all your keys to the mirror.
And any server without a Proxmox VE subscription cannot use offline mirror if I understood correctly.

EDIT 2:
You need to have both all the Proxmox VE nodes licensed (but license type does not matter) and you need to request a license key for Offline Mirror. (And possible also pay extra for the offline mirror key as well but this depends on license key type of the Proxmox VE nodes and the amount of nodes.)
 
EDIT 3:
It seems that a active license is not required for Offline Mirror. (And is optional just like with the rest of the software and only needed if you want to use the stable enterprise repository.)
I can see the packages in the no-subscription repository so, if you have the no-subscription repository configured in APT then it should show up after a "apt update" on the machine you want to install it on to.
