The following worked for me:

# curl --progress-bar --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -Sfhttps://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg --output /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg

# echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg]https://repo.waydro.id/ bookworm main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list

# apt-get update

# apt-get install waydroid

I still didn't run it, so, no tested yet :)

Cheers,

Aitor.
