OpenPanel 0.2.0 supports Debian 12 🚀

<!--truncate-->

Ever since our launch in late February, I've received questions like: "Why Ubuntu and not Debian?" The truth is, I'm more accustomed to Ubuntu, and haven't worked extensively with Debian to feel as comfortable managing and maintaining it as I do with Ubuntu.

However, with the overwhelming demand from our users on GitHub, forums, and Discord to add Debian support, I've accepted the challenge and began working on the integration.

After a few months of development and some adjustments to our existing logic, I'm thrilled to announce that OpenPanel 0.2.0 now fully supports Debian 12! 🎉

While there are still a few minor issues remaining—ones that 99.9% of users will likely never encounter—I'm committed to resolving them as swiftly as possible.

**Bugs on debian:**
- Pyarmor decoding fails for a specific python version: 3.11
- phpMyAdmin version in docker images is not compatible with PHP 8.2+

Please [give it a try](https://openpanel.co/install) and don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any bugs. Your feedback is invaluable in improving OpenPanel!

**Note:** As OpenPanel 0.2.0 is the first version to support Debian, attempting to install older versions of OpenPanel on Debian, such as `--version=0.1.8`, will fail.
