here is how I created a local repository easily
Since the online repo expired a while ago, installation of previously installable packages are no longer installable, e.g. docker and portainer. Here is how I did by crating a local repo on a USB fla...
Thanks for digging and writing up.
I did the bluray for the same reason.
I used debian install and combined all three bluray disk to make one bit ISO. Then write it to the USB drive. Not neccisarily needed. Just looked neater than copying all 3 ISOs.
It is about 64gb, fits perfectly well in a Sandisk ultra fit.
USB is just an idea of concept, and simplest to me. USBs are cheap and there is no repeated writing or wear. Of you can use other sources as you experimented. It is personal.
Another thing:
Don’t try to add the oldoldstable under security as a source. You will be asked to upgrade packages from debian 9. It will break your system if you accidentally do upgrade. Obviously, jessie is now obsolete.
Here is the instruction for merging isos.

The only two sources you will need are the:
Netgear readynasos and this local source.

Thanks for that, but how did you install a version of xorriso that's compatible? I get this error message:
--- Help text of xorriso program xorriso lacks word "replay".
--- It will fail when trying to make the new ISO bootable.
Consider to get and compile GNU xorriso from
https://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso
and to export variable XORRISO with the binary's path.
I don't care if it's bootable or not, so I guess I could look at the script and see if that can be disabled. Or did you find a way to do that rather than install a more up to date xorriso?
- I used a debian 11 installation. I have no issues. Don’t how to help.
SorryI got to the point I figured out you must have. I removed the check for the option and it's use, then ran into the next roadblock:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'I never tried to mount the CD's on the NAS, I mounted them in Windows and copied the files to the NAS. I'm going to do that again and put the files in their respective "mount" directories, remove the mount and unmount operations from the script, and see if that works. If it doesn't, then I'll just use those three directories as my repository.
- Played with it. Same error as yours
If there is a place, i can upload it. It is big.
