I'm deeply regretting my 628x purchase in 2019 (still under warranty I believe) since Netgear seems to have completely abandoned ReadyNAS product. Debian Jessie is old has also been archived. They really should OpenSource ReadyNAS OS6 so the community can release future updates. :::PLEASE PLEASE!:::
Anyway, I'm having a couple of problems which I can't seem to fix:
$ apt-get update
W: GPG error: http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/debian jessie Release: The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1668891673 W: The repository 'http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie Release' is not signed. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
The next is:
apt-get -qy install build-essential ca-certificates libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev python-software-properties software-properties-common git-core python2.7 ...after several successful Get packages... it terminates with:
E: Failed to fetch https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.10.8/main/pool/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_4.4.218.1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I'm not sure how to solve these... Hash Sum mismatch? Is there a problem with the distro? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

- This happens when a file is listed in the NTGR repo package list but isn’t actually in the repo.
What's going on Netgear? It certainly would be nice if Netgear would just opensource ReadyNAS OS6 so the community can maintain it if they're no longer willing too!
@Marc_Vand @JeraldM - can you please include a patch or hotfix with the updated keys and sources.list for debian jessie since it's now been moved to archive? And as a special request, make ReadyNAS OS6 including readynasd open source so the community can keep things updated?
While I would love to see ReadyNAS OS open sourced, I fear that too many who have the skills to maintain it have abandoned the ReadyNAS. The number of such folks was always limited, anyway. I think a better solution may be to abandon ReadyNAS OS all together and go with a more generic OS. The big problem, of course, is getting it onto a NAS without a video port. If someone could create a bootable USB system that supports a USB video solution for NAS without a native video port and lets you install it (or any Linux system) on the NAS, that would be wonderful. Doing everything via VNC would be another solution; but I think having a display is best, even if VNC is available as well. The idea here is to do an initial install of FreeNAS or something similar and then being able to simply do normal Linux updates from that point on, not needing anything special to be maintained.
The biggest disadvantage is that one would most likely have to backup data, do the installation, and restore data. A generic Linux OS with such a small OS partition just isn't very workable.
FWIW, all my non-sandbox NAS do have a video port, but I recognize that is a major stumbling block for most. The second being putting something in the flash that will boot a non-Netgear OS. Having it support the ReadyNAS LED display would be wonderful, but easy to live without with a "real" display.
Have same problem with ReadyNas 526x but it seems that Netgear have no longer interest in supportting ex-customers. Its a pitty, despite the time of launch of Netgear products it still can operate (mine still operates with Docker strenghtened with additional 16 GB memory - however more and more images refuse to work due to oudated docker/system version). Having opportunity to install other OS supported by community as FreeNas, Open Media Vault, TrueNas or similar, would save CO2 and the planet ( correct Netgear Team??? 😆 )
For me personally it is painfull as I trusted Netgear having : Orbi, Arlo and two ReadyNas and sadly it seems to be a wrong choice.
Are there still any MODs/Admin here working with Netgear? It appears the channel of communications between customers and Netgear has completely closed.
