[tractusx-dev] Important: Helm Charts Using Bitnami Images Need Migratio

[Stephan Bauer <stephan.bauer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Eclipse Tractus-X Community,

as many of you rely on our published Helm charts, we want to inform you about an important change:

The official Bitnami Helm chart repository has been deprecated and container images have been migrated to a new repository called bitnamilegacy. Your deployment probably will not work anymore after the 28.8 if you are using the bitnami repository.

👉 If you want to use a Helm chart from previous releases (before 25.09), you must override the image configuration to ensure you can still download and deploy the required Docker images. Otherwise, your deployments may break.

Please see an example PR that already implements this change.

What you need to do

• Override Bitnami container image references in your values.yaml (e.g., postgresql, keycloak, …) to bitnamilegacy.

• Test the chart in your integration environment.

For 25.09, we are already working on the switch to bitnamilegacy and track the changes on the related products here.

⚠️  Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog

Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new Bitnami Secure Images initiative. As part of this transition:

• Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images.
• Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes
• Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.
• For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support.

These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the Bitnami Secure Images announcement.
