The Bitnami Library for Kubernetes
Popular applications, provided by Bitnami, ready to launch on Kubernetes using Kubernetes Helm.
TL;DR
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/<chart>
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.
Vulnerabilities scanner
Each Helm chart contains one or more containers. Those containers use images provided by Bitnami through its test & release pipeline and whose source code can be found at bitnami/containers.
As part of the container releases, the images are scanned for vulnerabilities, here you can find more info about this topic.
Since the container image is an immutable artifact that is already analyzed, as part of the Helm chart release process we are not looking for vulnerabilities in the containers but running different verifications to ensure the Helm charts work as expected, see the testing strategy defined at TESTING.md.
Before you begin
Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.23+
- Helm 3.8.0+
Setup a Kubernetes Cluster
The quickest way to set up a Kubernetes cluster to install Bitnami Charts is by following the "Bitnami Get Started" guides for the different services:
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG)
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using VMware Tanzu Mission Control (TMC)
- Get Started With Bitnami Charts Using Azure Marketplace Kubernetes Applications
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using the Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS)
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
For setting up Kubernetes on other cloud platforms or bare-metal servers refer to the Kubernetes getting started guide.
Install Helm
Helm is a tool for managing Kubernetes charts. Charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.
To install Helm, refer to the Helm install guide and ensure that the helm binary is in the PATH of your shell.
Using Helm
Once you have installed the Helm client, you can deploy a Bitnami Helm Chart into a Kubernetes cluster.
Please refer to the Quick Start guide if you wish to get running in just a few commands, otherwise, the Using Helm Guide provides detailed instructions on how to use the Helm client to manage packages on your Kubernetes cluster.
Useful Helm Client Commands:
- Install a chart:
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/<chart>
- Upgrade your application:
helm upgrade my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/<chart>
