The source code for Bitnami containers and Helm charts remains publicly available on GitHub and continues to be licensed under Apache 2.
What’s changing is that Bitnami will no longer publish the full catalog of container images to DockerHub. If you need any image, you can still build/package it yourself from the open-source GitHub repositories.
What about the bitnami:minideb base image?
Or the stacksmith files necessary to build certain images?
Without access to these resources, it will not be possible to rebuild the images, will it?
Projects like Sealed Secrets and minideb remain unaffected by these changes. Container images for both projects will continue to be released on Docker Hub (docker.io/bitnami) as usual, without any modifications.
The source code will continue to be available for containers, allowing you to build them from source and future versions as well. The Stacksmith tarballs will also remain available.
The planned action is to stop providing the already built containers on Docker Hub.
Check out Artifact Hub, the CNCF-hosted charts from projects like Prometheus/Grafana, or the official k8s-at-home charts as solid alternatives to Bitnami.
