errors trying to update turnkey linux installation

Greetings! I was attempting to update our turnkey linux installation, however having some errors while attempting to do so. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated. I have limited linux experience, please excuse my ignorance!

See attached log file from my attempts. I tried to published documentation method and the standard sudo apt-get update/upgrade. Also it doesn't work with sudo in front of anything. (see snipit below here)

root@ospftp ~# sudo apt-get upgrade
-bash: sudo: command not found

root@ospftp ~# sudo apt-get update
-bash: sudo: command not found

-bash: turnkey-install-security-updates: command not found

This is a crazy old server!

Reply 3 2020-10-26

This is a ~10 year old server which is based on a version of Ubuntu which has not been supported for at least 5+ years. The reason why it's not working is because the Ubuntu Lucid repository no longer exists.

The only thing I can recommend is migrating the data to a newer, supported server. It's so old I would definitely not recommend trying to update this OS (it'll be more trouble than it's worth).

Please share a bit more about the server's purpose. I.e. where it's running and what it's hosting. WIth more info I'm more than happy to share my opinion on the best way forward.
