FAQ

How do I switch the traffic mirror source address for Debian 9, 10, or 11 after its EOL?

Debian 9 reached EOL on June 30, 2022. Debian 10 reached EOL on June 30, 2024, and Debian 11 reached EOL on August 31, 2024. Standard software sources for EOL versions are removed from official and third-party mirror sites. Alibaba Cloud provides an archived mirror source (debian-archive). To access these archived versions, update the source configuration in your ECS instance.

For VPC instances: http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian

Important

The following steps apply to ECS instances. For non-ECS servers with public network access, replace http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com with http://mirrors.aliyun.com.

Log on to your Debian 9, 10, or 11 ECS instance.

See Log on to a Linux instance using Workbench.
Edit the sources.list file:
```
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
```

Press i to enter edit mode, and replace the content with the source for your Debian version:

Debian 9

deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free

Debian 10

deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian/ buster main non-free contrib
deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-security buster/updates main
deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian/ buster-updates main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian/ buster main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian/ buster-updates main non-free contrib

Debian 11

deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian bullseye main
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian bullseye main
deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian bullseye-updates main
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian bullseye-updates main
deb http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian bullseye-backports main
deb-src http://mirrors.cloud.aliyuncs.com/debian-archive/debian bullseye-backports main

Press Esc, then enter :wq to save and exit.
Update the source cache:
```
sudo apt update
```

After switching the source, use sudo apt install to install required packages.

How do I retain the source configuration when creating a custom image from a Debian 9, 10, or 11 ECS instance?

When you create an ECS instance from a custom image, cloud-init resets the source configuration at startup. To retain your updated source configuration, modify cloud-init configuration file /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg on the original instance before creating the image.

Edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg:
```
sudo vim /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
```

Press i to enter edit mode. Use # to comment out the - source-address module under cloud_init_modules:.

After you comment out the line, the configuration in the file is as follows:

# The modules that run in the 'init' stage
cloud_init_modules:
 - migrator
# - source-address
 - seed_random
 - bootcmd
 - write-files
 - growpart
 - resizefs
 - set_hostname
 - update_hostname
 - update_etc_hosts
 - rsyslog
 - users-groups
 - ssh

Press Esc, then enter :wq to save and exit.
