# What is Kong Ingress Controller? > Kong Ingress Controller is an Ingress controller that manages external access to HTTP services in a Kubernetes cluster using the Kong API Gateway. [Overview of kong-ingress-controller](https://github.com/Kong/kubernetes-ingress-controller) # TL;DR; ```bash $ docker run --name kong-ingress-controller bitnami/kong-ingress-controller:latest ``` # Why use Bitnami Images? * Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems. * With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible. * Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs. * All our images are based on [minideb](https://github.com/bitnami/minideb) a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution. * All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with [Docker Content Trust (DTC)](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/content_trust/). You can use `DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1` to verify the integrity of the images. * Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available. > This [CVE scan report](https://quay.io/repository/bitnami/kong-ingress-controller?tab=tags) contains a security report with all open CVEs. To get the list of actionable security issues, find the "latest" tag, click the vulnerability report link under the corresponding "Security scan" field and then select the "Only show fixable" filter on the next page. # Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links > NOTE: Debian 9 and Oracle Linux 7 images have been deprecated in favor of Debian 10 images. Bitnami will not longer publish new Docker images based on Debian 9 or Oracle Linux 7. Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/). * [`0-debian-10`, `0.7.1-debian-10-r6`, `0`, `0.7.1`, `latest` (0/debian-10/Dockerfile)](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-kong-ingress-controller/blob/0.7.1-debian-10-r6/0/debian-10/Dockerfile) Subscribe to project updates by watching the [bitnami/kong-ingress-controller GitHub repo](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-kong-ingress-controller). # Get this image The recommended way to get the Bitnami kong-ingress-controller Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/kong-ingress-controller). ```bash $ docker pull bitnami/kong-ingress-controller:latest ``` To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/kong-ingress-controller/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry. ```bash $ docker pull bitnami/kong-ingress-controller:[TAG] ``` If you wish, you can also build the image yourself. ```bash $ docker build -t bitnami/kong-ingress-controller:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-kong-ingress-controller.git#master:0/debian-10' ``` # Configuration ## Running commands To run commands inside this container you can use `docker run`, for example to execute `kong-ingress-controller --version` you can follow the example below: ```bash $ docker run --rm --name kong-ingress-controller bitnami/kong-ingress-controller:latest -- --version ``` Consult the [kong-ingress-controller Reference Documentation](https://github.com/Kong/kubernetes-ingress-controller/blob/master/docs/references/cli-arguments.md) to find the completed list of flags. Note that these can also be set by using the `CONTROLLER_` environment variables as stated in the [official documentation](https://github.com/Kong/kubernetes-ingress-controller/blob/master/docs/references/cli-arguments.md#cli-arguments). # Contributing We'd love for you to contribute to this container.
