jessie distribution - not currently supported

[hkkumargithub]

Hello Dears,

I am currently using below lines in the Dockerfile to install node16 version.

RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash -
RUN apt-get install nodejs

curl command was working fine until November, but now it's throwing below error. Please assist.

I'm also on Jessie and this guide for manual install helps: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#manual-installation

Note: 16.x won't work, but 14.x will and shouldn't get EOL until well into 2023

Heads up though: with 14, you'll probably run into #1181

Jessie is not supported at this time. Thank you @mehov for helping us to solve this issue.
