Request Debian Jessie with this extension

hyena56

Hello,

Currently D.O has stopped distributing Debian 8 images, so the only way I can use Debian 8 is through Custom Image. I have tried all but can't find proper image. Can you please give/upload me direct link I can use for Custom Image in DO with either of this extensions (gz, bz2, vmdk, vhdx, qcow, qcow2, vdi, raw, img, xz) Debian 8 32bit please. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If you can't find a Debian 8 ISO, you should just kill yourself in minecraft.

Wow, I thought I've seen everything.

Just wow.

Do this:

1. Install Virtualbox on your PC
2. Install Debian
3. Export installed VM as .img or any other extension you need
4. Import into provider container

If you need .iso https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.10.0/amd64/iso-cd/

Or just send them a ticket. I've heard they sometimes mount isos for customers.

Only the recovery ISO but that can now be done by the customer.

The Debian team has abandoned their cloud images, and it seems like backports are no longer a thing for Debian 8, so we've just gone ahead and pulled the image.

See: https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports-announce/2018/07/msg00000.html

(edit): Adding, if you do need jessie backports, add this to an appropriate sources.list or equivalent file:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

(it is not mirrored any more - so you've to directly fetch from archive.debian.org)

Also, if you're using jessie's apt, you'll also need this setting in your apt preferences or equivalent:

Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";
