Is it possible to upgrade a Debian 8 (Jessie) to 9, 10, 11 and eventually 12? It is reccomended to upgrade one release at a time. But! 9’s repositories are archived. How can I upgrade form 8 to 9?

Thank you in advance!

    Tbh… Itd probably be easier to back up files and settings and do a clean install of 12. If you try to upgrade in a chain like what you are wanting to do, not only is it going to be very tedious, something is virtually certain to break in a way that will make it much easier to just install from scratch.

      If OP has good backups, they should try to upgrade from 8 directly to 12… For science
