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. ...

Id love to do this change to my ReadyNAS. Im actually trying to install Remote.it but cant due to the lack of jq on the debian platform and errors to upgrade.

Start from the two files Sandshark explained to modify resp. add back in April 2023 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/How-I-got-apt-update-and-install-to-work-with-Debian-Jessie/m-p/2306772/highlight/true#M199238

A little bit to vague on what "Remote" you are asking about....

Managed to get the 2 files modified and added to the required folder. Sorry youre right the use of remote was vague. This is the service i am trying to set up https://www.remote.it/benefits to enable remote access to my ReadyNAS. Im a basic user of this and mostly my NAS is used for local file sharing but sometimes i need to share with external sources too.

I managed to run apt-update and it seemed to work but im getting errors when i try and install the remote.it package. Ive sent the error to their support for help.

Their support told me i needed jq 1.6 and when i checked it states i have jq 1.4-2.1 so i dont understand why this would be an issue?

jq is already the newest version (1.4-2.1+deb8u1)

jq 1.6 would be newer than 1.4-2.1.

But it was apparently never backported to Debian 8 (Jessie), so I think you are out of luck.
