I have some olds rasberry model B with 512 mb ram and raspbian wheezy.
I need to know if it is still possible to add a repo for this distro and as to insert in sources.list.
I have to add other programs from the repo to these devices.

Thank.

Debian wheezy isn't supported anymore, so I assume Raspbian wheezy
isn't anymore too.
512MiB are enough tu run Debian 11, so try out that.

Not since 2018.

It would be better to upgrade, however the package archives are still
available if you want to install packages:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian wheezy main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main

I too still have an 2 old pi's running wheezy based raspberry pi OS.

These are my sources.list lines ...

deb http://legacy.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi deb-src http://legacy.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

There are no security updates here. I believe this is just the "frozen" "Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" when it ceased being maintained.

Hope that helps.

I don't recommend using such software. If you run server software like
apache, the risk of being hacked is high.

That depends on how your LAN is set up.

The better firewalls can make your LAN and everything on your LAN
completely invisible from outside. Running this way is easy and quite practical since about the only thing that most people need that connects inward is your ISP delivering mail to a local MTA, e.g. Postfix and even there its easy enough to run getmail every 10 minutes from a cron job to collect mail from your mailbox at your ISP. Everything else you're likely
to run that accesses the internet, i.e. software updates, web browsers,
FTP, all connect outwards.

All is fine until someone on the LAN uses a Windows machine to
visit a dodgy site and accidentally pulls a botnet node into your LAN or
plugs in the USB stick they found on the bus or some Idiotic Online Things phone home to a compromised home or ...

I wouldn't be surprised if *your* network is free of this sort of
risk but that is a rarity.

I've been running this way for years. Once set up, which isn't hard, it

If your LAN is secure it works fine but ... The last time I saw
this policy used in a production data centre the LAN was inside an access controlled Faraday cage and everything that went onto machines on the LAN
had to pass a security audit. There was an ssh gateway - everyone with
access to it had to be vetted. Some of the machines in there weren't
rebooted from the time they went in to the time they were removed - I decommissioned some that had been running for over seven years.

Not is a problem.
This devices work only in may lan (blocked from router firewall).

------[B

For Marco Moock and Jim Jackson.

The packages of Jim Jackson repos are marked as untrusted, plausible, but they are previus versions of the Marco Moock repos.

The my interesting package was 'tcpdump'. Now installed.


I sorry for late (and for english not good) but yesterday my provider 'kaput'!

I've been running this way for years. Once set up, which isn't hard, it
just works. I use getmail to fetch inbound mail and a local Postfix copt
to pass outbound mail to my ISP for delivery. I have websites too: they
are hosted by my ISP and maintained by using a private internal copy of
Apache to write and test new pages before exporting them to the public,
hosted website using FTP.

I don't even like security holes inside my LAN if that is protected
from the outside by an SPI firewall.
Especially if there is an operating system that is still supported.
