What to upgrade to

Go to 13.

13 is the newest supported Debian cycle, with security fixes until 30 Jun 2030.

Before you upgrade

Upgrade one release at a time, after a backup. A fresh server on the new release is often quicker.

How to check your version

Which Debian is this site on?

On the server

$ cat /etc/debian_version
12.12

Release name

$ cat /etc/os-release
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"

Know before support ends.

Porro reads the PHP, framework and database version from every site and tells you 90 days before support runs out.
