The Bitnami Containers Library

Popular applications, provided by Bitnami, containerized and ready to launch.

Why use Bitnami Secure Images?

Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise OS Photon Linux. Why choose BSI images?

• Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
• Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
• Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
• Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
• First class support for the internet’s favorite Helm charts

Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in our public catalog here. Note: Some data is only available with commercial subscriptions to BSI.

If you are looking for our previous generation of images based on Debian Linux, please see the Bitnami Legacy registry.

Get an image

The recommended way to get any of the Bitnami Images is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/APP

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag.

docker pull bitnami/APP:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile, and executing the docker build command.

git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP .

[!TIP] Remember to replace the APP, VERSION, and OPERATING-SYSTEM placeholders in the example command above with the correct values.

Run the application using Docker Compose

The main folder of each application contains a functional docker-compose.yml file. Run the application using it as shown below:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/APP/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d

[!TIP] Remember to replace the APP placeholder in the example command above with the correct value.

Vulnerability scan in Bitnami container images

As part of the release process, the Bitnami container images are analyzed for vulnerabilities. At this moment, we are using two different tools:

• Trivy
• Grype

This scanning process is triggered via a GH action for every PR affecting the source code of the containers, regardless of its nature or origin.

Retention policy

Deprecated assets will be retained in the container registry (Bitnami DockerHub org) without changes for, at least, 6 months after the deprecation. After that period, all the images will be moved to a new "archived" repository. For instance, once deprecated an asset named foo whose container repository was bitnami/foo, all the images will be moved to bitnami/foo-archived where they will remain indefinitely.

Special images, like bitnami/bitnami-shell or bitnami/sealed-secrets, which are extensively used in Helm charts, will have an extended coexistence period of 1 year.

Contributing

We'd love for you to contribute to those container images. You can request new features by creating an issue, or submit a pull request with your contribution.
