How is everyone adapting to Bitnami’s shift to paid repos?

Asked By CleverPigeon42 On

With Bitnami moving their Helm charts from free to paid secure repositories, I'm curious about how others are handling this transition, especially for commonly used apps like MongoDB and Redis. Are most people just redirecting their chart URLs to the bitnamilegacy repository, or are there better alternatives?

I've noticed a lot of discussions around this issue. My take is that you should definitely have a local mirror of your production images, just in case. You can set one up quite simply by pulling the images and tagging them. While you can still point to bitnamilegacy, those charts won't get updates, and I’m not entirely comfortable relying on anything from Bitnami anymore. We've switched to using mirrored images in our Helm charts and are actively searching for replacements as many other non-Bitnami charts still depend on their images too.

I've completely moved away from Bitnami and switched to using operators for services like Mongo, Redis, and Postgres, which gives me more control.

We've crafted our own Helm charts to move away from Bitnami. This gives us a lot more control over the applications. Sure, it’s convenient to use their charts, but they come with too many dependencies, and I just can’t trust Bitnami anymore.
