Fresh Installation for Debian 13

It’s always possible and easy to upgrade Virtualmin, as long as the OS you’re on is supported.

Your OS could be upgraded with the tools provided by the vendor (do-release-upgrade in the case of Debian), but I usually recommend you backup, fire up a new server, install Virtualmin on the new server, and migrate. That’s usually faster than the upgrade process, as the upgrade takes some time and often has minor issues you have to work out (probably not with Virtualmin, we try pretty hard to make upgrades pretty painless, but upgrading the whole OS is bound to have some kinds of issues).

This is a nice addition, thank you.

Now I still have to decide whether to replace the old server or wait a little longer for Virtualmin version 8 with support for Debian 13.

Is there any information yet about a release date, if I may call it so?

To check the dependency compatibility of Debian 13 with a specific stack while update to kernel and libraries. With an A grade support on the testing branch can lag the stable branch, so frequently update the package shift.

No, but we’re really talking about doing it in a few days now. I’d say 99% of everything is ready. I need to run more tests and fix small things before we send it all out.

Don’t rush, enjoy the new year. :grinning_face:

That sounds good, I’m happy with that.
But first, enjoy the New Year’s celebrations and let’s start 2026 healthy and relaxed.
