Description

About this VPS:

https://openstack-browser.toolforge.org/project/glams

The problem is: it's still running Debian bullseye.

Solution:

A new VPS should be created with latest Debian stable, re-installing all the software.

FAQ:

Why not just upgrading? Because Wikimedia Foundation wants to create a new VPS.
