Upgrade to Debian 13: security fixes until 30 Jun 2030.

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.
