The Bitnami Library for Kubernetes
Popular applications, provided by Bitnami, ready to launch on Kubernetes using Kubernetes Helm.
Looking to use our applications in production? Try VMware Application Catalog, the enterprise edition of Bitnami Application Catalog.
TL;DR
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/<chart>Vulnerabilities scanner
Each Helm chart contains one or more containers. Those containers use images provided by Bitnami through its test & release pipeline and whose source code can be found at bitnami/containers.
As part of the container releases, the images are scanned for vulnerabilities, here you can find more info about this topic.
Since the container image is an immutable artifact that is already analyzed, as part of the Helm chart release process we are not looking for vulnerabilities in the containers but running different verification to ensure the Helm charts work as expected, see the testing strategy defined at TESTING.md.
Before you begin
Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.19+
- Helm 3.2.0+
Setup a Kubernetes Cluster
The quickest way to setup a Kubernetes cluster to install Bitnami Charts is following the "Bitnami Get Started" guides for the different services:
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using VMware Tanzu Mission Control
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using the Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS)
- Get Started with Bitnami Charts using the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
For setting up Kubernetes on other cloud platforms or bare-metal servers refer to the Kubernetes getting started guide.
Install Helm
Helm is a tool for managing Kubernetes charts. Charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.
To install Helm, refer to the Helm install guide and ensure that the helm binary is in the PATH of your shell.
Using Helm
Once you have installed the Helm client, you can deploy a Bitnami Helm Chart into a Kubernetes cluster.
Please refer to the Quick Start guide if you wish to get running in just a few commands, otherwise the Using Helm Guide provides detailed instructions on how to use the Helm client to manage packages on your Kubernetes cluster.
Useful Helm Client Commands:
- Install a chart:
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/<chart> - Upgrade your application:
helm upgrade my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/<chart>
