To get a rough idea, here [0] is a description on how to upgrade to Bookworm. But... STOP FIRST. You say you have Debian 8, which is Jessie. This is a very old release (see here [1]). Jumping releases is not supported in the upgrade process, so you would have to proceed step by step: Jessie -> Stretch (aka 9) Stretch -> Buster (aka 10) Buster -> Bullseye (aka 11) Bullseye -> Bookworm (aka 12), the current stable. The basic process for each step, as described in [0] is: - first bring your current release up to its newest state - then change the source lines in /etc/apt/sources.list - do the upgrade then repeat. For the older releases (Jessie, Stretch, I'm not quite sure about Buster), you will have to adapt your sources.list lines to point to archives.debian.org [3] instead of your usual source. This is a very high level description, you'll want to come back here for more details. It's a bit of work, and you have to proceed carefully but perfectiy doable (I've done the Jessie...Bullseye transition remotely on a colocated host). Plan some time for it.
