Is your feature request related to a problem?

I would like to upgrade my base OS to the newest LTS release of Debian 12 (Bookworm).

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if RaspAP could support Debian/Armbian Bookworm for new installs.

Additional context

Debian 12 Bookworm is currently in the testing phase but expected to release on June 10, 2023. The current install scripts fails when trying to install on this version

Armbian 23.05.1 bookworm is unsupported. Please install on a supported distro.

Debian 12 (bookworm) and Armbian 23.05 (Suni) are separate distros. Both are on the project roadmap.
Can you assist with testing?

littlegraycells commented

Yes, happy to. I can test Debian on an x86 machine. For Armbian, I have an Odroid C2 I can test on.

@littlegraycells great. Have a look at #1354. So far I have a stable install with Debian 12 on a Pi 3B+. There are two small changes that need to be made for php8.2-cgi.

For the installer, you can edit raspbian.sh and force it to load a local common.sh like so:

else
    source="common"
    component="Install"
    source /home/${source}.sh
    _install_raspap || _install_status 1 "Unable to install RaspAP"
fi

Substitute /home for the location of common.sh on your device.

Okay so it's installed fine and seems stable right now on Armbian 23.05.1 on an Odroid C2. Will report back after a few days.

That's very helpful, thanks. My Armbian test devices are Orange Pis that aren't booting with bookworm at the moment.
