Install Debian 12.5 on QNAP TS-210

[David Hörnlund <hornlund@lysator.liu.se>]

Hi debian-user,

I have an old QNAP TS-210 that would continue to be useful for me. If it is still possible to use it with the latest Debian Stable.

There is a webpage at https://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-219/

That have instruktions on how to install Debian 10 on this device.

Can I install Debian 10 on the device today still or is that version not available anymore? Are the .Deb packades still on the mirrors? If the files are available will it install or is it blocked somehow?

If I follow the steps on the webpage and do what the author suggests:

My recommendation is for the third option;  Arnaud Mouiche has created a script that re-configures the partition layout.

Arnaud Mouiche's method has been used by many users with success.

Will Debian 12 have the necessary packades and cpu architecture support to allow Debian 12 to boot and run. But also receive updates and new software configured for the QNAP TS-210?

According to the author Debian dropped the support for this device when support ended for Debian 10. 

I need to know If it is possible to continue using this device or If I should deposit it in the garbage bin. So it get sent to electronics recycling.

Regards

David
