Upgrade to Debian 10, 11 or 12 (soon) - possible?

Hi,
I have unsuccessfully tried to upgrade my ScrolloutF1 installation to both Debian 10 and 11 without luck. Debian 10 was the most promising, but I encountered Amavis and Networking not starting.
I also tried a clean Install with Debian 11 and changed the version checks in Scrollout setup. But with no luck.
I have not tried clean install with Debian 10 yet.
I am a Windows guy and not that good with Debian.
Is there anyone in here that have done either a successfull upgrade or fresh install on either Debian 10, 11 or maybe 12 (still not officially released)?
If so can you provide the steps you have taken to get it to work?
Thank you very much.
I got this a little ways down the road but not working yet. I installed a fresh Debian 12 from ISO. I then downloaded the ScrolloutF1 tarball, modified the install script changing the requirement of Debian 9/Stretch to Debian 12/Bookworm, and ran the installer. It appeared to get through without errors but I really didn't read all 10,000 lines of install logs. Nothing blew up, I'll put it that way.
After completion the Nginx server was running but didn't work, with a Gateway timeout. I fixed that by installing php8.2 and php8.2-fpm, and modifying Nginx config in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/scrollout.conf and restarting Nginx.
Postfix, Amavis and Firewall are showing in red in the header banner, though both Postfix and Amavis are running from what I can tell. I did need to restart clamav-daemon - that shows up blue in the header.
At this point, I ran into too many PHP problems. I'm an old school perl/CGI guy - PHP makes my brain hurt. I know it's possible on Ubuntu 22.04 to have multiple versions of PHP with Nginx as I'm doing that exact thing on some Wordpress servers, but my time is exhausted here for now. I think the best bet unless someone out there want to fix 4700 lines of PHP code across 35 php files to work with PHP8, is to try getting PHP7.
I'll post more updates if I have time.
Anyone heard a peep from Marius? I've been nursing an old Debian 7 server along for many years but being totally end of life I'm reluctant to leave it out there much longer. There are other anti-spam tools out there but at almost 50 years old I'm a little less apt to want to learn new tools.
Anyone out there want to work and rekindle this project? I'm up for it.
Hi davestahr,
if you tested at Debian 12/Bookworm is fine, and now only php problem, I can try to fix it
I am 40 years old and old-school PHP guy.
I will work on something later I update you
I've moved on to another product. Thanks for reaching out though!

but I can only work PHP, if no other on help to maintenance Scrollout F1 , I will planing move to another product too.
Scrollout is in need of some TLC - I guess the donations have stopped
There has been no update since 2018. As of friday 8th Sep 2023 my instance of Scrollout F1 no longer functions due to incompatibility with hosting server - I was forced to update due to recent security patches, and Scrollout is simply no longer compatible.
Scrollout has been brilliant, but I'm at that point now where I have to do something - and I fear that somthing is to look elsewere for a mail gateway provider :(
sad times.
