The Bitnami Containers Library provides hardened, security-optimized Docker container images for hundreds of popular open-source applications, maintained by Bitnami/VMware. Images are built on Photon Linux with minimal CVEs, non-root defaults, and security metadata such as SBOMs and VEX statements.

Use cases

• run postgres or redis in docker without building my own image
• find hardened container images with minimal CVEs for production
• deploy popular open source apps on kubernetes with bitnami images
• get SBOM and vulnerability metadata for container images
• run containers as non-root for security compliance
• self-host applications using trusted prebuilt docker images
• air-gapped deployment of open source software containers

When to choose

• you need production-ready, regularly updated images of popular OSS applications
• you want security-hardened, non-root, minimal-CVE container images
• you use Bitnami Helm charts and want matching container images
• you need compliance artifacts like SBOMs, VEX statements, and FIPS options

When to avoid

• you need fully open-source licensing with no commercial restrictions
• you want tiny scratch/distroless images you fully control
• you need the legacy Debian-based images (use bitnamilegacy instead)
• you only need a one-off image trivial to build yourself
