Hi, I have an outdated hestia, running on debian 9.

Is it possible to upgrade debian to a higher version such as 10 or 11 ? without breaking anything 😃

How would it be to do this job of bringing hestia and debian up to date ?

Step 1: Update Hestia to the last current version (Debian 9 is still supported)  
Step 2: Now you have 2 options:

Debian 10 no changes are required  
Debian 11: Follow the instructions

> [@Install: HestiaCP + Debian 11](https://forum.hestiacp.com/t/install-hestiacp-debian-11/4313/2):

> A few notes: Upgrade from Debian 10.x to 11 Is currently not supported it will need to be done via manual config files changes due to changes in Exim 4.94 so information will follow soon…

You also might need to upgrade MariaDB and maybe even switch to php-fpm depending on your setup

Another option would be to install Hestia on a new Debian 11 server, and then migrate the users one-by-one to the new server. Its pretty painless for standard users, but if you have a lot of customizations, it might take a bit longer.
