Download this Container Image

For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/chaos-mesh:latest

Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.

Compatibility Notes

The Chainguard chaos-mesh container image is a drop-in replacement for the upstream chaos-mesh/chaos-mesh image. It offers the same functionality and user experience as the upstream. This image is designed to be minimal and secure alternative. Runs under a non-root user. Switching to this image should be seamless and should not require any changes to your configuration.

FIPS support

Chainguard's chaos-mesh-fips provides fips enabled version of this image. For more on FIPS support in Chainguard container images, consult the guide on FIPS-enabled Chainguard Containers on Chainguard Academy.

Getting Started

Kubernetes

To deploy Chaos Mesh on Kubernetes, use the official Helm chart. First, add the Helm repository:

helm repo add chaos-mesh https://charts.chaos-mesh.org
helm repo update

Override the controller manager image with the Chainguard image in a values.yaml file:

cat <<EOF > values.yaml
controllerManager:
  image:
    registry: cgr.dev
    repository: ORGANIZATION/chaos-mesh
    tag: latest
EOF

Then install the chart:

helm install chaos-mesh chaos-mesh/chaos-mesh \
  --namespace chaos-mesh \
  --create-namespace \
  -f values.yaml \
  --wait

Please refer to the upstream documentation for full instructions on how to use and deploy chaos-mesh with Helm.

FIPS

Fips variant is available.

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard's free tier of Starter container images are built with Wolfi, our minimal Linux undistro.

All other Chainguard Containers are built with Chainguard OS, Chainguard's minimal Linux operating system designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a development, or -dev, variant.

In all other cases, including Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest or with a specific version number, the container images include only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they include additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from the -dev variant into a more minimal production image.

Need additional packages?

To improve security, Chainguard Containers include only essential dependencies. Need more packages? Chainguard customers can use Custom Assembly to add packages, either through the Console, chainctl, or API.

To use Custom Assembly in the Chainguard Console: navigate to the image you'd like to customize in your Organization's list of images, and click on the Customize image button at the top of the page.
