You can use debian 12 by using var_version=12 in front of the command.

IIRC in the Discord we discussed that we would not offer the choice in the menu between different versions of Debian (for maintenance reasons?)

EDIT: to clarify: Cockpit does support Debian 13, the 45Drives extensions (made by 45Drives) do not support Debian 13 (yet). People also use Cockpit without 45Drives which is why Debian 13 is the default.

@tremor021 If you answer yes, it more or less works (the file sharing part at least). Some small things don't (such as seeing when a user last logged in, because of replaced packages in Debian 13 (see https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-identities/issues/9).

Maybe then we should revert this back to debian 12 as default, so it has full functionality with 45drives stuff.
Once they include support for Debian 13, its simple change to bump the script to it.

There are people using Cockpit without those extensions, so they would benefit from Debian 13, but I'm fine either way (I myself am using the extensions, so I used this var_version=12 method to install Debian 12, so it's a very easy change). Is offering a choice in the Advanced install still out of the question?

I believe most people will use some if not most of the plugins. I believe the scripts are made to facilitate the deployment. It would be better than by default use Debian 12, and then on the page describing the script mention you can use the additional command argument to install version 13 as an option.

it would be beneficial to have this instruction as an option on the webpage of the script
