Can't update -known saltstack issue - can't ssh in...

[swiftech]

Running 16.0.5.619 on Amazon S3 with an image that was pre-built for it. I haven't been able to update because of the known issue with the saltstack repo. "'http://repo.saltstack.com/apt/debian/9/amd64/archive/2019.2.0 stretch Release' does no longer have a Release file."

I thought I would SSL in as has been advised in numerous discussions with the following: "wget -O - https://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/misc/debianpatches/9/16/0/5/20200619-os-update.sh | bash" but I can't access it because it says ssh access is off. I checked the firewall and the port was blocked, so I corrected that and the error in the amazon - whatever the page is called that gives you the links to access - the error went away but it still won't connect. Doing it directly through Putty doesn't seem to work either.

The only thing I've found where I could possible correct this is a terminal through 3CX. But I'm not sure it's really meant to do that. When launched it gives only a handful of commands and some are a little strange. For example, wget -O - https://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/misc/debianpatches/9/16/0/5/20200619-os-update.sh | bash would just generate an error. After multiple attempts I finally got it to do something... get https://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/misc/debianpatches/9/16/0/5/20200619-os-update.sh but I don't think it actualy ran. I think it just copied the file.

Any ideas how I should proceed from here?

Hi!

Yes, the command you need to run from SSH is the one you mentioned:

wget -O - https://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/misc/debianpatches/9/16/0/5/20200619-os-update.sh | bash

Remember though, you need to run it as root.

If it runs successfully, you should see this:
