Just want to emphasize (and this is not directed specifically at you): you almost certainly shouldn't run Debian testing on anything that is public-facing. Packages get migrated to testing after some days in unstable if no high-priority bugs are filed against them during the days after their upload.
If a security patch is uploaded to unstable today, you won't get it in testing for a few days, and possibly many more if the migration gets blocked.

- ckuehl 11y agoJust keep in mind that unstable is not guaranteed to get security fixes promptly, either. The Debian Security Team only handles supported releases. The Security Team FAQ is a good read: https://www.debian.org/security/faq#unstable https://www.debian.org/security/faq#unstable It's quite explicit in saying that if security is important to you, then you should run a supported release.
