How I got apt update and install to work (with Debian Jessie retired)
OK, so I started off creating my own local Debian repository. Not recommended -- it's a lot of work. But with a lot of Googling and experimenting, I finally got apt to work using an online source. ...
I did successfully use apt-mirror to create local repositories. And I had no problem getting the ARMHF and ARMEL repositories running on an Intel-based system. But I did have to run it on a Linux platform other than the NAS itself.

Both my RN102 and RN202 downloaded ARMEL with my mirror list (which didn't specify the platform). Not sure what ReadyNAS use ARMHF, but the Netgear repositories include it, so I've also added that.
Here's my current mirror.list

I did it like this:
echo 'APT::Get::custom-arguments "--allow-unauthenticated";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/999myconfigAll OS6 ARM units should be able to use ARMHF, which is 64-bit. But not every package is available as ARMHF, so it falls back to ARMEL when it's not.
I never even got apt-mirror to run on my NAS. But I am still on 6.9.6 on my NAS, so that could be it. I've been reluctant to update to 6.10.x for fear some apps will stop working.

Not convinced that is the case. The only packages Netgear has in their ARMHF repositories are "*_all.deb" A lot of stuff is armel only (for instance, wget).
EDIT - looking again, I am seeing some armhf libraries

What happened when you ran it?
Reaching for the moon with this question .... so StevenB had the following 200gb mirrored 2 years ago. Is there any possibility that could be shared - mirrored to others - and/or does anyone else have the packages repos mirrored that could be cloned ?
I've already mirrored jessie and have a local webserver feeding it. I'm just missing a clean setup for the readynas packages world.
I'm a tad late to the game here - but I have many systems and would rather self-support (and modify) them in a clean way instead of hacking thru it.
Cheers -
Edit: Hmm. I thought StevenB's post would have been linked to my reply. Anyway - its back on the first page of this same topic - posted back on 2023-05-07 - his long list of mirrored repos.

Nothing under apt.readynas.com exists anymore (unless I'm missing something in my searches).
This doesnt exist for example:
