Summary: start upgrading servers during the Debian 13 ("trixie") freeze, if it goes well, complete most of the fleet upgrade in around June 2025, with full completion by the end of 2025, with a 2026 year free of major upgrades entirely. Improve automation, retire old container images.
Deadline: 2 weeks, 2025-04-01
Just so you know, this proposal has now been adopted, and we will start the Debian 13 upgrade process. Note that I have changed the proposal to postpone the retirement of container images: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/tpa-rfc-80-debian-... I'll send a separate proposal for this. As a reminder, here's the upcoming timeline:
## Timeline
- 2025-Q2 - W14 (first week of April): default container image changed to `trixie`, installer defaults changed and first tests in production - W18 (last week of April): Batch 1 upgrades, TPA machines - W19 (first week of May): Batch 1 upgrades, Tails machines - W22 (last week of May): Batch 2 upgrades, TPA machines - W23 (first week of June): Batch 2 upgrades, Tails machines - 2025-Q3 to Q4: Batch 3 upgrades - 2026: cleanup work
This means that, unless otherwise noted, new VMs requested will get installed with trixie. You should also expect another announcement, in a couple of weeks, that we'll soon start the first round of TPA machines upgrades. This should be relatively minor and will affect the following servers:
