# Bitnami package for ScyllaDB ## What is ScyllaDB? > ScyllaDB is an open-source, distributed NoSQL wide-column data store. Written in C++, it is designed for high throughput and low latency, compatible with Apache Cassandra. [Overview of ScyllaDB](https://www.scylladb.com/) Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement. ## TL;DR ```console docker run --name scylladb bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` You can find the default credentials and available configuration options in the [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) section. ## ⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new [Bitnami Secure Images initiative](https://news.broadcom.com/app-dev/broadcom-introduces-bitnami-secure-images-for-production-ready-containerized-applications). As part of this transition: - Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images. - Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes - Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates. - For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support. These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the [Bitnami Secure Images announcement](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/issues/83267). ## Why use Bitnami Secure Images? - Bitnami Secure Images and Helm charts are built to make open source more secure and enterprise ready. - Triage security vulnerabilities faster, with transparency into CVE risks using industry standard Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX), KEV, and EPSS scores. - Our hardened images use a minimal OS (Photon Linux), which reduces the attack surface while maintaining extensibility through the use of an industry standard package format. - Stay more secure and compliant with continuously built images updated within hours of upstream patches. - 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. - Hardened images come with attestation signatures (Notation), SBOMs, virus scan reports and other metadata produced in an SLSA-3 compliant software factory. Only a subset of BSI applications are available for free. Looking to access the entire catalog of applications as well as enterprise support? Try the [commercial edition of Bitnami Secure Images today](https://www.arrow.com/globalecs/uk/products/bitnami-secure-images/). ## Why use a non-root container? Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers [in our docs](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/work-with-non-root-containers/). ## How to deploy ScyllaDB in Kubernetes? Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the [Bitnami ScyllaDB Chart GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/scylladb). ## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/understand-rolling-tags-containers/). You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the `tags-info.yaml` file present in the branch folder, i.e `bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml`. Subscribe to project updates by watching the [bitnami/containers GitHub repo](https://github.com/bitnami/containers). ## Get this image The recommended way to get the Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/scylladb). ```console docker pull bitnami/scylladb: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/scylladb/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry. ```console docker pull bitnami/scylladb:[TAG] ``` If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values. ```console git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest . ``` ## Persisting your application If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed. For persistence you should mount a directory at the `/bitnami` path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. ```console docker run \ -v /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami \ bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` or using Docker Compose: ```yaml scylladb: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest volumes: - /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami ``` > NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID `1001`. ## Connecting to other containers Using [Docker container networking](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/), an ScyllaDB server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers. Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname. ### Using the Command Line In this example, we will create an ScyllaDB client instance that will connect to the server instance that is running on the same docker network as the client. #### Step 1: Create a network ```console docker network create app-tier --driver bridge ``` #### Step 2: Launch the ScyllaDB server instance Use the `--network app-tier` argument to the `docker run` command to attach the ScyllaDB container to the `app-tier` network. ```console docker run -d --name scylladb-server \ --network app-tier \ bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` #### Step 3: Launch your ScyllaDB client instance Finally we create a new container instance to launch the ScyllaDB client and connect to the server created in the previous step: ```console docker run -it --rm \ --network app-tier \ bitnami/scylladb:latest cqlsh --username scylladb --password scylladb scylladb-server ``` ### Using a Docker Compose file When not specified, Docker Compose automatically sets up a new network and attaches all deployed services to that network. However, we will explicitly define a new `bridge` network named `app-tier`. In this example we assume that you want to connect to the ScyllaDB server from your own custom application image which is identified in the following snippet by the service name `myapp`. ```yaml version: '2' networks: app-tier: driver: bridge services: scylladb: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest networks: - app-tier myapp: image: YOUR_APPLICATION_IMAGE networks: - app-tier ``` > **IMPORTANT**: > > 1. Please update the **YOUR_APPLICATION_IMAGE_** placeholder in the above snippet with your application image > 2. In your application container, use the hostname `scylladb` to connect to the ScyllaDB server Launch the containers using: ```console docker-compose up -d ``` ## Configuration ### Environment variables #### Customizable environment variables | Name | Description | Default Value | |---------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| | `SCYLLADB_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION` | Enable client encryption | `false` | | `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME` | ScyllaDB cluster name | `My Cluster` | | `SCYLLADB_DATACENTER` | ScyllaDB datacenter name | `dc1` | | `SCYLLADB_ENABLE_REMOTE_CONNECTIONS` | Enable connection from remote locations | `true` | | `SCYLLADB_ENABLE_RPC` | Enable RPC endpoint in ScyllaDB | `false` | | `SCYLLADB_ENABLE_USER_DEFINED_FUNCTIONS` | Enable user defined functions | `false` | | `SCYLLADB_ENABLE_SCRIPTED_USER_DEFINED_FUNCTIONS` | Enable scripted user defined functions | `false` | | `SCYLLADB_ENDPOINT_SNITCH` | Name of the cluster endpoint snitch | `SimpleSnitch` | | `SCYLLADB_HOST` | ScyllaDB host name | `nil` | | `SCYLLADB_INTERNODE_ENCRYPTION` | Internode encryption type | `none` | | `SCYLLADB_NUM_TOKENS` | Number of tokens in cluster connection | `256` | | `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER` | Set node as password seeder in the cluster | `no` | | `SCYLLADB_SEEDS` | List of cluster seeds | `$DB_HOST` | | `SCYLLADB_PEERS` | List of cluster peers | `$DB_SEEDS` | | `SCYLLADB_NODES` | List of cluster nodes (seeders and non seeders) | `nil` | | `SCYLLADB_RACK` | ScyllaDB rack name | `rack1` | | `SCYLLADB_BROADCAST_ADDRESS` | Node broadcast address | `nil` | | `SCYLLADB_AUTOMATIC_SSTABLE_UPGRADE` | Automatically upgrade sstables after upgrade | `false` | | `SCYLLADB_STARTUP_CQL` | Startup CQL commands to run at boot | `nil` | | `SCYLLADB_IGNORE_INITDB_SCRIPTS` | Ignore the execution of init scripts | `no` | | `SCYLLADB_CQL_PORT_NUMBER` | CQL port | `9042` | | `SCYLLADB_JMX_PORT_NUMBER` | JMX port | `7199` | | `SCYLLADB_TRANSPORT_PORT_NUMBER` | Transport port | `7000` | | `SCYLLADB_CQL_MAX_RETRIES` | Maximum retries for CQL startup operations | `20` | | `SCYLLADB_CQL_SLEEP_TIME` | Sleep time for CQL startup operations | `5` | | `SCYLLADB_INIT_MAX_RETRIES` | Maximum retries for init startup operations | `100` | | `SCYLLADB_INIT_SLEEP_TIME` | Sleep time for init startup operations | `5` | | `SCYLLADB_PEER_CQL_MAX_RETRIES` | Maximum retries for peer startup operations | `100` | | `SCYLLADB_PEER_CQL_SLEEP_TIME` | Sleep time for peer startup operations | `10` | | `SCYLLADB_DELAY_START_TIME` | Delay ScyllaDB start by the number of provided seconds | `10` | | `SCYLLADB_AUTO_SNAPSHOT_TTL` | Take an automatic snapshot of the data before truncating a keyspace or dropping a table | `30d` | | `ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD` | Allow no credentials in the installation. | `no` | | `SCYLLADB_AUTHORIZER` | ScyllaDB connection authorizer | `CassandraAuthorizer` | | `SCYLLADB_AUTHENTICATOR` | ScyllaDB connection authenticator | `PasswordAuthenticator` | | `SCYLLADB_USER` | ScyllaDB username | `cassandra` | | `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD` | ScyllaDB password | `nil` | | `SCYLLADB_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD` | ScyllaDB keystore password | `cassandra` | | `SCYLLADB_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD` | ScyllaDB truststore password | `cassandra` | | `SCYLLADB_KEYSTORE_LOCATION` | ScyllaDB keystore location | `${DB_VOLUME_DIR}/secrets/keystore` | | `SCYLLADB_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION` | ScyllaDB truststore location | `${DB_VOLUME_DIR}/secrets/truststore` | | `SCYLLADB_TMP_P12_FILE` | ScyllaDB truststore location | `${DB_TMP_DIR}/keystore.p12` | | `SCYLLADB_SSL_CERT_FILE` | ScyllaDB SSL certificate location | `${DB_VOLUME_DIR}/certs/tls.crt` | | `SCYLLADB_SSL_KEY_FILE` | ScyllaDB SSL keyfile location | `${DB_VOLUME_DIR}/certs/tls.key` | | `SCYLLADB_SSL_CA_FILE` | ScyllaDB SSL CA location | `nil` | | `SCYLLADB_SSL_VALIDATE` | Perform SSL validation on the certificates | `false` | | `SSL_VERSION` | TLS version to use when connecting. | `TLSv1_2` | | `SCYLLADB_MOUNTED_CONF_DIR` | ScyllaDB directory for mounted configuration files | `${DB_VOLUME_DIR}/etc` | | `SCYLLADB_CQL_SHARD_PORT_NUMBER` | CQL (shard aware) port | `19042` | | `SCYLLADB_API_PORT_NUMBER` | REST API port | `10000` | | `SCYLLADB_PROMETHEUS_PORT_NUMBER` | Prometheus metrics port | `9180` | | `SCYLLADB_DEVELOPER_MODE` | Use ScyllaDB developer mode | `yes` | | `SCYLLADB_RUN_JMX_PROXY` | Launch JMX Proxy as a subprocess | `no` | #### Read-only environment variables | Name | Description | Value | |--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------| | `DB_FLAVOR` | Database flavor.

For example, use `SCYLLADB_CFG_RACKDC_PREFER_LOCAL=true` in order to configure `prefer_local` in `scylladb-rackdc.properties`. Or, use `SCYLLADB_CFG_YAML_INTERNODE_COMPRESSION=all` in order to set `internode_compression` to `all` in `scylladb.yaml`. **NOTE:** Environment variables will be omitted when mounting a configuration file When you start the scylladb image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the `docker run` command line. If you want to add a new environment variable: - For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section: ```yaml scylladb: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest environment: - SCYLLADB_TRANSPORT_PORT_NUMBER=7000 ``` - For manual execution add a `-e` option with each variable and value: ```console $ docker run --name scylladb -d -p 7000:7000 --network=scylladb_network \ -e SCYLLADB_TRANSPORT_PORT_NUMBER=7000 \ -v /your/local/path/bitnami/scylladb:/bitnami \ bitnami/scylladb ``` ### Setting the server password on first run Passing the `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD` environment variable along with `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes` when running the image for the first time will set the ScyllaDB server password to the value of `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD`. ```console docker run --name scylladb \ -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes \ -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123 \ bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` or using Docker Compose: ```yaml scylladb: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest environment: - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123 ``` #### Step 1: Create a new network ```console docker network create scylladb_network ``` #### Step 2: Create a first node ```console docker run --name scylladb-node1 \ --net=scylladb_network \ -p 9042:9042 \ -e SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster \ -e SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2 \ -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes \ -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=mypassword \ bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` In the above command the container is added to a cluster named `scylladb-cluster` using the `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME`. The `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_HOSTS` parameter set the name of the nodes that set the cluster so we will need to launch other container for the second node. Finally the `SCYLLADB_NODE_NAME` parameter allows to indicate a known name for the node, otherwise scylladb will generate a random one. #### Step 3: Create a second node ```console docker run --name scylladb-node2 \ --net=scylladb_network \ -e SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster \ -e SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2 \ -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=mypassword \ bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` In the above command a new scylladb node is being added to the scylladb cluster indicated by `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME`. You now have a two node ScyllaDB cluster up and running which can be scaled by adding/removing nodes. With Docker Compose the cluster configuration can be setup using: ```yaml version: '2' services: scylladb-node1: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest environment: - SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster - SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2 - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123 scylladb-node2: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest environment: - SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster - SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2 - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123 ``` ### Initializing with custom scripts When the container is executed for the first time, it will execute the files with extensions `.sh`, `.cql` or `.cql.gz` located at `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` in sort'ed order by filename. This behavior can be skipped by setting the environment variable `SCYLLADB_IGNORE_INITDB_SCRIPTS` to a value other than `yes` or `true`. In order to have your custom files inside the docker image you can mount them as a volume. ```console docker run --name scylladb \ -v /path/to/init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d \ -v /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` Or with docker-compose ```yaml scylladb: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest volumes: - /path/to/init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d - /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami ``` ### Configuration file The image looks for configurations in `/bitnami/scylladb/conf/`. As mentioned in [Persisting your application](#persisting-your-application) you can mount a volume at `/bitnami` and copy/edit the configurations in the `/path/to/scylladb-persistence/scylladb/conf/`. The default configurations will be populated to the `conf/` directory if it's empty. #### Step 1: Run the ScyllaDB image Run the ScyllaDB image, mounting a directory from your host. ```console docker run --name scylladb \ -v /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami \ bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` or using Docker Compose: ```yaml scylladb: image: bitnami/scylladb:latest volumes: - /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami ``` #### Step 2: Edit the configuration Edit the configuration on your host using your favorite editor. ```console vi /path/to/scylladb-persistence/scylladb/conf/scylladb.yaml ``` #### Step 3: Restart ScyllaDB After changing the configuration, restart your ScyllaDB container for changes to take effect. ```console docker restart scylladb ``` or using Docker Compose: ```console docker-compose restart scylladb ``` Refer to the [configuration](http://docs.datastax.com/en/scylladb/3.x/scylladb/configuration/configTOC.html) manual for the complete list of configuration options. ### FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images The Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker image from the [Bitnami Secure Images](https://www.arrow.com/globalecs/uk/products/bitnami-secure-images/) catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables: - `OPENSSL_FIPS`: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. `yes` (default), `no`. ## TLS Encryption The Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker image allows configuring TLS encryption between nodes and between server-client. This is done by mounting in `/bitnami/scylladb/secrets` two files: - `keystore`: File with the server keystore - `truststore`: File with the server truststore Apart from that, the following environment variables must be set: - `SCYLLADB_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`: Password for accessing the keystore. - `SCYLLADB_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD`: Password for accessing the truststore. - `SCYLLADB_INTERNODE_ENCRYPTION`: Sets the type of encryption between nodes. The default value is `none`. Can be set to `all`, `none`, `dc` or `rack`. - `SCYLLADB_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION`: Enables client-server encryption. The default value is `false`. ## Logging The Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker image sends the container logs to the `stdout`. To view the logs: ```console docker logs scylladb ``` or using Docker Compose: ```console docker-compose logs scylladb ``` You can configure the containers [logging driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/) using the `--log-driver` option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the `json-file` driver. ## Maintenance ### Upgrade this image Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of ScyllaDB, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. #### Step 1: Get the updated image ```console docker pull bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` or if you're using Docker Compose, update the value of the image property to `bitnami/scylladb:latest`. #### Step 2: Stop and backup the currently running container Stop the currently running container using the command ```console docker stop scylladb ``` or using Docker Compose: ```console docker-compose stop scylladb ``` Next, take a snapshot of the persistent volume `/path/to/scylladb-persistence` using: ```console rsync -a /path/to/scylladb-persistence /path/to/scylladb-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S) ``` #### Step 3: Remove the currently running container ```console docker rm -v scylladb ``` or using Docker Compose: ```console docker-compose rm -v scylladb ``` #### Step 4: Run the new image Re-create your container from the new image. ```console docker run --name scylladb bitnami/scylladb:latest ``` or using Docker Compose: ```console docker-compose up scylladb ``` ## Using `docker-compose.yaml` Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing.
