Download this Container Image

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

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/localstack:latest

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

Compatibility Notes

This image is comparable to the LocalStack image on Docker Hub. Switching to Chainguard's image should not require any changes to your existing setup.

Getting Started

Docker

To get started with Chainguard's LocalStack image, you can run the image using Docker:

docker run --rm -d -p 4566:4566 -p 4510-4559:4510-4559 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/localstack

Mounting the host's Docker socket is required for services like Lambda.

Helm

To install Chainguard's LocalStack image on your Kubernetes cluster, you can use the LocalStack Helm chart.

You can override the image by setting the image.repository and image.tag values in a values.yaml file:

image:
  repository: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/localstack
  tag: latest

You can then run the following command to install LocalStack on your cluster:

helm repo add localstack-repo https://helm.localstack.cloud
helm install localstack localstack-repo/localstack -f values.yaml

Documentation and Resources

Please refer to the upstream documentation for a quickstart as well as an overview of LocalStack Docker images and their purpose.

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.

In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro 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 -dev variant.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
