Compatibility Notes

Chainguard's os-shell-bitnami-fips image is a general-purpose minimal image, well-suited for helper tasks such as running initialization in initContainers from Helm charts, mostly used by Bitnami's charts. It includes a shell and basic utilities such as curl, jq, yq, ini-file, render-template, coreutils, and many more. The go binaries included in this image are built with go-fips toolchain.

Getting started

There are many places where the Bitnami Charts can use this image to run initialization tasks in Kubernetes, like memcached. The following is an example of how to use this image in a Memcached Bitnami Helm chart.

Start by creating a values.yaml file:

cat <<EOF > values.yaml
architecture: high-availability
global:
  security:
    allowInsecureImages: true
persistence:
  enabled: true
  storageClass: local-path
volumePermissions:
  enabled: true
  image:
    registry: cgr.dev
    repository: ORGANIZATION/os-shell-bitnami-fips
    tag: latest
EOF

Then you can install the Memcached Helm chart with the following command:

helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/memcached -f values.yaml

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.
