Thanks, After checking with lsb_release -a, it is now running Debian 11.9. Is there a tool for auto updating tor when a new version is released?

Thanks.

Be careful, you can only ever upgrade to the next version!
From Debian 9 to 11 doesn't work. You have to do 2 upgrades.
From 9 to 10 first and later from 10 to 11.
You also cannot upgrade Windows 7 to Win 11 directly.

This is very time-consuming, hence the recommendation to reinstall.

No matter what you do, I would back up the tor config and the tor keys first.

Important: (apt-key is deprecated) How the tor repo is added has changed.

Again as a recommendation: Take the official Debian documentation and not any
random guides from the Internet. Here are the links again. The documentary is
translated into many languages. Chapters 2 and 4 are important.
Your architecture is: 64-Bit-PC (AMD64)

https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/releasenotes
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm//releasenotes

Your relay is running Tor 0.4.8.11 on Linux
That means you have time to read and ask questions.

I'm out of here for now.
I have enormous personal and legal problems because of the exits that I have
to take care of.
