What is it?

This repository is the build source for Bitnami's container image library, covering many widely used open source applications such as databases, message brokers and web servers. Each application lives in its own folder with a Dockerfile, configuration and a Docker Compose file, so the images can be pulled directly from Docker Hub or built locally from the source.

The images are based on Photon Linux and aim for a minimal, low-vulnerability footprint. Bitnami Secure Images add vulnerability triage data such as VEX statements, KEV and EPSS scores, SBOMs, and FIPS and STIG compliance options, with some metadata available through a public catalog and some reserved for commercial subscriptions. Images are scanned with Trivy and Grype as part of the release process.

Deprecated images stay in the registry for at least six months, then move to an '-archived' repository. Helm chart users are the main audience for many of these images.

Key features

  • 01Prebuilt images for many popular open source applications, pullable from Docker Hub
  • 02Each application includes a Dockerfile and a ready-to-use docker-compose.yml
  • 03Images built on Photon Linux with a focus on minimal size and few vulnerabilities
  • 04Vulnerability scanning with Trivy and Grype on every relevant pull request
  • 05Security metadata such as SBOMs, VEX statements and compliance options for secure images

Use cases

  • Running a database or message broker in development without manual installation
  • Deploying open source applications to Kubernetes through Helm charts
  • Starting a standard, security-reviewed base image for a self-hosted stack

Quick start

  1. 1

    Pull the prebuilt image from Docker Hub (replace APP with the application name)

    docker pull bitnami/APP
  2. 2

    Download the application's docker-compose.yml file (replace APP with the application name)

    curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/APP/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
  3. 3

    Start the application with Docker Compose

    docker-compose up -d

Things to know

  • Some security metadata is only available with a commercial Bitnami Secure Images subscription.
  • Each application is a separate image, so you must choose and replace the APP placeholder with the right one.
