📢 Overview
As of August 28th, 2025, the Bitnami public catalog will undergo the following changes:
Community catalog Disable images generation for Debian-based images and gradually move existing ones to a Bitnami Legacy repository. A focused set of more hardened, more secure images. These free images are intended for development and are only available on the “latest” tag. You can find them at https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamisecure. Helm charts and container images' open-source code will continue to be maintained up-to-date and accessible on GitHub under the Apache 2 license.
Bitnami Secure Images Production-ready, enterprise-grade containers and Helm charts will move under the Bitnami Secure Images offering. Benefits include: Hardened, low-attack-surface operating system Continuous rebuilds with the latest security patches (SLSA Level 3) Industry-standard CVE transparency (VEX, KEV) SBOMs and compliance artifacts Enterprise support and LTS branches Access to the entire catalog of applications (over 280) Minimal distroless runtime images
Legacy repository migration All existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be moved from the public catalog ( docker.io/bitnami ) to the Bitnami Legacy repository ( docker.io/bitnamilegacy ). This legacy catalog will receive no further updates or support and should only be used for temporary migration purposes. Suppose your deployed Helm chart is failing to pull images from docker.io/bitnami . In that case, you can resolve this by subscribing to Bitnami Secure Images, ensuring that the Helm charts receive continued support and security updates. As a temporary workaround, you can upgrade to the same version and update the repository parameter for each container image to the Bitnami Legacy repository.
🗓️ Timeline
Now – August 28th, 2025 You will see deprecation notices in READMEs and documentation. Plan your migration: Update CI/CD pipelines, Helm repos, and image references. Start trying out the new hardened images available to the community today at https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamisecure.
August 28th, 2025 The public catalog switches to the limited community-tier subset of container images (the same images that are initially available here at https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamisecure). Legacy assets are archived in the Bitnami Legacy repository.
Post-August 28th, 2025 For development purposes, community-tier users are restricted to pulling only the most recent ‘latest’ tags of the limited community-tier subset of container images. Production users should subscribe to Bitnami Secure Images for full version support at https://www.arrow.com/globalecs/uk/products/bitnami-secure-images/#CTA.
