Proxmox Offline Mirror released!

In my environment, I must use a proxy as there's no direct internet connection.
This worked fine since the beginning of POM, but I have trouble after upgrading to Trixie.

To use a proxy, I set ALL_PROXY accordingly.
Running Bookworm, I added the Trixie repositories and ugpraded to Trixie from them.

Once upgraded and rebooted, when I try to create a new snapshot, POM doesn't contact the Proxy at all, but asks the local DNS to resolve debian.org or proxmox.com. Our local DNS can't resolve public records.

Has anybody noticed a similar behaviour? Any hints?

Code: 
root@OfflineMirrorTest:~# env | grep -i proxy
ALL_PROXY=http://192.168.1.38:3128
root@OfflineMirrorTest:~# dpkg -l | grep proxmox

Hello,
I need to add the Webmin repository to POM.
Unfortunately, when parsing the Release file, POM reports an error: 'Architectures' field missing.
Code: 
Fetching Release/Release.gpg files
-> GET 'http://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/repository/dists/stable/Release.gpg'..
-> GET 'http://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/repository/dists/stable/Release'..
Verifying 'Release(.gpg)' signature using provided repository key..
Success
Parsing Release..
Error: 'Architectures' field missing.

In the Release file downloaded from the Webmin repository, there is an 'Architecture' field instead of the 'Architectures' field.
Code: 
Archive: stable
Version: 3.1
Component: contrib
Origin: Jamie Cameron
Label: Webmin
Architecture: all i386 amd64 arm
Description: Webmin and related packages
Date: Sun, 05 Oct 2025 18:16:48 UTC

Is there any way to work around this?
 
technically that is a broken repository, but the field is also allowed to be missing, so please file a bug in our bugzilla!
 
Hello all,

I am trying to activate my Subscriptions on the clients (PVEs) using the following command.

proxmox-offline-mirror-helper offline-key --source http://proxmox-offline-mirror.domain.example/

I get the error:
Error: parameter verification failed - 'source': schema does not allow additional properties.
Usage: proxmox-offline-mirror-helper offline-key --mountpoint <string> [OPTIONS]

Is it no longer possible to activate a server using http?

I am brand new on Proxmox. It is my first installation. The POM is accessible via http. Subscriptions are active. The POM is a native Debian 13.

Thanks
Bernd
 
you need proxmox-offline-mirror-helper >= 0.7.3 for that..

The subscriptions are active. I didn't find the .mirror-state file. Is it placd somewhere else?
 
did you set up this path as *medium* and synced it? it looks like it might just be where you store your snapshots?
 
That is just the place where the snapshots are stored. I "only" followed the guided proxmox-offline-mirror setup. You are right I have to create a media, Point 2 in the guided setup.
