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 would also recommend adding the retired and archived Debian security repo as well.

Thx for the tip, I have added that.
One aspect with apt-mirror - it grabs the repository for the platform you are using. So if you are on an x86 machine, it will get the x86 repository.
It will run on the NAS without needing installation, so you can just run it there to make sure you get the repository you need for your platform. Make sure you are saving to the data volume, as the OS partition is far too small.
How DO you ensure it downloads to the data and not the root volume?
