Debian 9 “Stretch” goes End of Life (EOL) June 2022

On the 30 June 2022, Debian 9 “Stretch” goes End of Life (EOL). We recommend you upgrade to Debian 11 “Bullseye” (skipping Debian 10 if possible) which is supported until June 2026.

After this date there will be no security updates released for Debian 9 and servers will not be patched for any new vulnerabilities discovered.

Leaving old Debian 9 “Stretch” systems past 30 June 2022 leaves you at risk to:

• Security vulnerabilities of the system in question
• Software incompatibility
• Compliance issues (PCI)
• Poor performance and reliability
  and
• Making your network more vulnerable as a whole

Debian 11 “Bullseye” Supports:

• Apache 2.4.48
• MariaDB 10.5
• MySQL 8.0
• PHP 7.4
• Python 3, 3.9.1
