The Bitnami Containers Library
Popular applications, provided by Bitnami, containerized and ready to launch.
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 .
Remember to replace the
APP,VERSION, andOPERATING-SYSTEMplaceholders 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
Remember to replace the
APPplaceholder 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:
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.
Changes in version support and pull-rate limits in Docker Hub for BItnami containers and Helm charts
Following the release of Bitnami Premium, we are making some changes in the way we distribute our free catalog. These changes enable us to sustain a viable business while also continuing to serve our community, including other open source projects, with free, high-quality software packages.
Beginning on December 16th, 2024, Bitnami will no longer subsidize unlimited pulls from the free Bitnami catalog in Docker Hub. Bitnami containers and charts will be subject to standard pull-rate limits and pull caps. Users who upgrade to Bitnami Premium will be able to pull without any limitations on pull rate or pulls per time period, regardless of the type of Docker subscription you have.
Also on December 10t,h 2024, only the latest stable branch of any container will receive updates in the free Bitnami catalog. Suppose you use a branch of any Bitnami container other than the latest stable. In that case, you can either migrate to the latest stable branch or upgrade to Bitnami Premium to pull the most up-to-date images of all upstream-supported branches. Previous versions already released will not be deleted. They are still available to pull from DockerHub.
We have partnered with Arrow Electronics as the exclusive vendor of Bitnami Premium. When you purchase a Bitnami Premium subscription through ArrowSphere Marketplace, you will be granted access to the /bitnamiprem and /bitnamichartsprem distribution registries in Docker Hub.

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.
