    Alternative to manually install 3rd party repositories

    There is an alternative to manually manage repositories and keys and that is to use extrepo

    extrepo is a curated list of 3rd party repositories and keys and it's a debian package.
    It's only been around a couple of years so I don't know how widely used it is yet.

    Installation

    To install it run

    apt install extrepo Add repository

    To add postgreSQL repository for example:

    extrepo enable postgresql Disable repository

    To disable a repository, for example:

    extrepo disable postgresql Where do files go?

    extrepo puts apt config files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as you would manually but manages keys in it's own directory /var/lib/extrepo/keys

    Repositories available

    Currently these repositories are in there:

    anydesk apertium-nightly apertium-release bareos belgium_eid_continuous brave_beta brave_nightly brave_release caddyserver consol debian_official dns-oarc docker-ce edge elbe eturnal eyrie fai feistermops gitlab_ce gitlab_ee gitlab_runner google_chrome google_cloud grafana grafana_beta grafana_enterprise grafana_enterprise_beta haproxy-2.8 i2pd janitor jellyfin jenkins jitsi-stable kea keybase kicksecure kicksecure_developers kicksecure_proposed kicksecure_testers lihas liquorix matrix mobian msteams neurodebian_software newrelic nginx node_12.x node_14.x node_16.x node_18.x notesalexp ooni openmodelica-contrib-nightly openmodelica-contrib-release openmodelica-contrib-stable openmodelica-nightly openmodelica-release openmodelica-stable openstack_antelope openstack_zed openvpn opera_stable opsi passbolt postgresql prosody proxmox-ceph-quincy proxmox-pve proxmox-pve8 r-project raspberrypi raspbian-addons realsense rspamd signal skype slack speedtest-cli spotify steam surface-linux sury syncevolution syncthing teamviewer_default teamviewer_preview torproject trinity vector vscode vscodium weechat whonix whonix_developers whonix_proposed whonix_testers winehq wire-desktop wire-internal-desktop wtf wtf-lts x2go x2go-extras x2go-lts x2go-nightly xpra xpra-beta yarnpkg zammad zulu-openjdk

    That is interesting, ftp works but not http
    He could try changing apt to use ftp instead of http in sources.list

    I think Landscape does this plus a lot more. I think it's free for 10 physical and 10 virtual machines, but I don't know the cost after that.

    There are some Juju charms that you can create a Landscape setup with pretty easily.
