Proxmox VE 4.4-1 security updates not working

[idan_prox]

Hi all,
I am using an old machine with Proxmox VE 4.4-1 (jessie) and the security updates (and all other usual updates) are not working.
It is a non-subscription version - and I am newbie in Proxmox VE.
I have tried different sources.list configs, but none is working properly,

For example, I was using https://enterprise.proxmox.com jessie/pve-enterprise
and http://ftp.ro.debian.org jessie
or archive.debian.org

Please help me with a reliable sources.list file, having this old Proxmox VE version.
Atached a screenshot of actual sources.list file (I have no idea how to copy/paste this terminal info)

Here it is the output of apt-get packages update:

Please note that this is a production machine (email server on CentOS. But I am working to setup e new machine with the latest Proxmox VE.
Thank you!

PVE 4.4 is end-of-life since 2016. If you want security updates you should upgrade to PVE 7.2.

Thank you for the quick answer.
Unfortunately I have to deal with this machine for one more month or so, till I will be ready for production with the new PVE 7.2 machine.

No updates available for this old 4.4-1 anymore?
Not even from some archive.debian.org repo?

PVE 4.4 gets no updates because it is end of life. So you are running without kernel or proxmox package updates for 6 years. Debian Jessie, PVE 4.X its based on, is end of life since June 2020. So there you are also running without any security updates for non-proxmox software packages for over 2 years. You really should upgrade to the next major version when something gets end of life and not just when you switch the hardware.

Thank you Dunuin!
I will do so.
