The Bitnami Containers Library

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

⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog

Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new Bitnami Secure Images initiative. As part of this transition:

• Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images.
• Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes
• Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.
• For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support.

These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the Bitnami Secure Images announcement.

Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines, and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• All our images are based on minideb -a minimalist Debian-based container image that gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution- or scratch -an explicitly empty image-.
• All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Notation. Check this post to know how to verify the integrity of the images.
• Bitnami container images are released regularly with the latest distribution packages available.

Looking to use our applications in production? Try VMware Tanzu Application Catalog, the enterprise edition of Bitnami Application Catalog.

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.
