Frequently Asked Questions Guide
What is changing about Bitnami?
Beginning August 19th, 2025, Bitnami will begin to deprecate support for non-hardened Debian based software images available in its free tier and gradually remove the non-latest images from its catalog. This will result in community access to a focused set of more hardened, more secure images. These free images are intended for development and only available on the “latest” tag. Additionally, Bitnami will not be changing its open source nature, and continues to make its source available under Apache 2 license.
Bitnami users can upgrade to Bitnami Secure Images with unlimited pull limits, production-ready open source software delivered continuously in hardened, minimal CVE images. Bitnami Secure Images can now be obtained through a partnership with Arrow Electronics.
