# Debian 13 Stable VPS

> Debian trixie, the current stable release: lean, slow-changing, and supported into 2030 with Debian LTS.

Run Debian 13 Stable on a Rack4 KVM server with NVMe storage, one IPv4 address (IPv6 pending), installed from the official cloud image.

## Details

- Family: Ubuntu and Debian
- Supported until: June 2030

## Why Debian 13 Stable

Debian 13 trixie has been Debian's stable release since August 2025. Debian changes little during a release's life, so a server you configure today behaves the same way years from now. The cloud image is lean, with fewer packages preinstalled than Ubuntu's, so you add what you need, `ufw` included.

## When to pick something else

Take Debian 12 only if something you run hasn't been tested on 13. If your vendors and tutorials target Ubuntu first, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the easier path.

## Support window

Debian 13 Stable gets security updates from the Debian project until June 2030.

- **Regular security support**: From the Debian security team, until about a year after Debian 14 is released. Debian puts out a new stable release roughly every two years.
- **Debian LTS** (until June 2030): The Debian LTS team carries security fixes on to five years in total, for most but not all packages.

## Upgrading

When Debian 14 comes out, you upgrade in place: point apt's sources at the new release and run `apt full-upgrade`, following the release notes. Take a snapshot first.
