Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the Bitnami Helm charts and Docker containers. From what I've seen, it looks like the Bitnami GitHub repositories are still active, with updates happening frequently. For example, the ArangoDB container was updated just 6 hours ago, and I can still pull the image from the Amazon ECR registry. Given that the official repositories seem to be maintained, are Bitnami images still usable and supported? Or is there something I might be missing? I've looked around but haven't found a solid answer. Thanks!

There are definitely issues with support. They’ve shifted many old images to the 'bitnamilegacy' repository, which now has no updates or specific tag support. So if you need something older, you’re out of luck!
Totally feel you! It would have saved me a ton of time if I had known about that legacy repo beforehand.
Honestly, it seems like the situation is just going to get worse. My best recommendation? It's time to stop holding out hope for improvements and start looking for alternatives. You can find clean base images with tools like Echo — it might be time to move on with your life.
From what I understand, the Helm charts are still public, but the images are mainly available under the 'latest' tag in the main repo. Older tags have been moved to a separate 'bitnamilegacy' repository.
Yeah, I ran into that issue with Keycloak too! The images pointed to an old repo, and I had to manually switch to one with a 'legacy' prefix, which made things a hassle.
