How do I update Debian Jessie repository sources?

OK, I've seen other posts about issues with installing apps.  What I've seen hasn't helped me.  Here is what I see when I do an apt update:

root@Pro2A:~# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org jessie/updates InRelease
Ign:2 http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/debian jessie InRelease
Hit:3 http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/debian jessie Release
Hit:4 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian jessie InRelease
Err:5 http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie Release.gpg
  The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1668891673
Hit:6 https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.10.8 InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/debian jessie Release: The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1668891673

 

etc/apt/sources.list contains this:

deb https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.10.8 updates apps main 

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

 

6.10.8 is replaced with 6.9.6 on units running the long-term stable release.  I also get some stuff about ZeroTier on units with it installed, but it's not on this NAS and isn't common to all.

 

Based on something I read elsewhere in the forum with regard to Docker, I tried  apt-key adv --keyserver apt.readynas.com --recv-keys, and that seemed to do something:

Executing: /tmp/tmp.OCrjYmplqk/gpg.1.sh --keyserver
apt.readynas.com

But in the end, I get the same error when doing an apt update.

    Just wondering if it is possible to make a local copy of the Jessie repository, and point to that instead???

      Hi

      Because Jessie is oldoldstable now Debian won’t renew the expired signing keys. It is possible to ignore signing keys but that’s a different risk that I wouldn’t attempt personally. The other option is to try Jessie updates here

      deb http://security.debian.org/debian/ jessie/updates main non-free contrib

      Which will only have some of the packages needed where deemed required for security or use stretch here

      deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib

      To get the needed packages but then remove again to make sure you don’t upgrade via stretch which will likely brick the device and need a factory reset.
