My lovely Debian 10 has entered the end of its lifecycle
Usually, when upgrading Linux, i always start from the scratch
But today is the time to try something new
Let’s upgrade Debian 10 to Debian 12
I’m using these two guides, 10 to 11 & 11 to 12
Don’t forget to make backups first, in case something bad happens
The upgrade process takes around 20 minutes to complete
After the upgrade, i faced only two problems
First, my WordPress is not running because all my previous PHP extensions have been removed
Just run apt install, and voila, it’s running again
My second problem is that the fail2ban service raises some errors and refuses to start
After tinkering a bit, i decided to apt purge it and apt install it again, and voila, it’s started beautifully
Debian is truly a rock solid distro 🫶
