pveceph install kept switching to enterprise repo

[proxr]

On a Proxmox 8.0.4 node, I have the following in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list:

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm no-subscription

I executed apt update, then run pveceph install

But I always received the following message:

WARN: Enterprise repository selected, but no active subscription!

This will install Ceph Quincy - continue (y/N)?

If I click 'Y' to continue, the installation will fail since it's trying to download packages from the ceph enterprice repo that I do not have subscription to:

update available package list
E: Failed to fetch https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy/dists/bookworm/InRelease  401  Unauthorized [IP: 144.217.225.162 443]
E: The repository 'https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm InRelease' is not signed.
start installation
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ceph-volume
apt failed during ceph installation (25600)

Then I look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list, the repo had been changed to: deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm enterprise.

Why did pveceph think that I am trying to use the enterprise repo, even though I had specified the no-subscription repo in ceph.list? Is there any other config that I missed to force pveceph install to use the no-subscription repo?

Some things that could cause your symptoms:

1. Did you really save the file? What editor did you use?
2. Is your root filesystem read-only (see output of "mount").
3. Is there an entry for Ceph in another file under /etc/apt (find -type f|xargs grep ceph)?

1. Yes - I used nano to edit ceph.list. I also tried the WebGUI to add no-subscription and remove enterprise repos.
2. Root file system seems to be rw (I used zfs) -

rpool on /rpool type zfs (rw,relatime,xattr,noacl)
rpool/ROOT on /rpool/ROOT type zfs (rw,relatime,xattr,noacl)
rpool/data on /rpool/data type zfs (rw,relatime,xattr,noacl)

3. This is all i can find, the enterprise repo was commented out by the WebGUI

./sources.list.d/ceph.list:# deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm enterprise
./sources.list.d/ceph.list:deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm no-subscription

Not sure if this matters, but this node was just added to my existing PVE cluster that already have ceph-quincy setup and running. The node was successfully added to the PVE cluster, but i am stuck at installing pveceph to join the existing ceph cluster.

Found the solution, need to run it like this: pveceph install --repository no-subscription. Wish this was documented on the Ceph WIKI.
