Armbian has nothing to do with Ubuntu servers. Official or non-official. This version of Ubuntu / its package base that is used in that Armbian / is most likely EOL and repositories removed.

could there be any substitute repositorys that i can fall back to?

Maybe. But you better ask that at ubuntu forums.

It is not a good idea to run an OS that is not actively maintained...

Ubuntu Disco STS was only supported until January 2020:
https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2020/01/23/ubuntu-19-04-disco-dingo-end-of-life-reached-on-january-23-2020/

https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Disco_Dingo/

 

18.04 LTS until Aril 2023

19.04 STS Disco until January 2020

18.10 STS Cosmic until July 2019

19.10 STS Eon only until Juli 2020

20.04 LTS until April 2025

 

LTS = „Long Term Support“

STS = „Short Term Support“

you could try to replace

http://ports.ubuntu.com

with

http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

see:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/unable-to-apt-update-my-ubuntu-19-04

Hello guys, I have been looking for a solution and made this, I hope you could use it.

 

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
 

change all lines with:

 

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-security main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-security main restricted universe multiv>

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-updates main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-updates main restricted universe multive>

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-backports main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-backports main restricted universe multi>

 

and finilly could update

 

sudo apt-get update
