On Debian 8, you can install the Debian 9 libssl1.1 package:

wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0j-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0j-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb

Note that you will have to keep an eye on eventual security updates manually, or configure repositories with pinning to automatically pull libssl1.1 from Debian 9 while avoiding a full-blown upgrade to Debian 9.

  • So stretch is debian 9 ? So he can just download the .deb file from the links down there. Commented Mar 19, 2019 at 9:45

    Since you’d come up with the gist of it, I took the liberty of re-writing your answer rather than adding my own, I hope you don’t mind (feel free to revert if you do). Commented Mar 19, 2019 at 9:51

  • On Debian 8, you can install the Debian 9 libssl1.1 package Does this mean you can install a Debian 9 / Stretch package on Debian 8 / Jessie? Or is this a typo? Commented Jun 9, 2020 at 18:40
