Bitnami Secure Image for Harbor Adapter Trivy

What is Harbor Adapter Trivy?

Harbor Adapter for Trivy translates the Harbor API into Trivy API calls and allows Harbor to provide vulnerability reports on images through Trivy as part of its vulnerability scan.

Overview of Harbor Adapter Trivy 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

This container is part of the Harbor solution that is primarily intended to be deployed in Kubernetes.

docker run --name harbor-adapter-trivy bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:latest

⚠️ 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. 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.

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.

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.

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

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.

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Harbor-Adapter-Trivy Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:[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.

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 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.

docker run \
    -v /path/to/harbor-adapter-trivy-persistence:/bitnami \
    bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:latest

Connecting to other containers

Using Docker container networking, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.

Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

Using the Command Line

Step 1: Create a network

docker network create harbor-adapter-trivy-network --driver bridge

Step 2: Launch the Harbor-Adapter-Trivy container within your network

Use the --network <NETWORK> argument to the docker run command to attach the container to the harbor-adapter-trivy-network network.

docker run --name harbor-adapter-trivy-node1 --network harbor-adapter-trivy-network bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:latest

Step 3: Run another containers

We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK) in the docker run command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.

Configuration

Harbor Adapter Trivy is a component of the Harbor application. In order to get the Harbor application running on Kubernetes we encourage you to check the bitnami/harbor Helm chart and configure it using the options exposed in the values.yaml file.

For further information about the specific component itself, please refer to the source repository documentation.

Environment variables

Customizable environment variables

Name Description Default Value
SCANNER_TRIVY_VOLUME_DIR harbor-adapter-trivy installation directory. ${BITNAMI_VOLUME_DIR}/harbor-adapter-trivy
SCANNER_TRIVY_CACHE_DIR harbor-adapter-trivy installation directory. ${SCANNER_TRIVY_VOLUME_DIR}/.cache/trivy
SCANNER_TRIVY_REPORTS_DIR harbor-adapter-trivy installation directory. ${SCANNER_TRIVY_VOLUME_DIR}/.cache/reports

FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images

The Bitnami Harbor Adapter Trivy Docker image from the 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.

Logging

The Bitnami Harbor-Adapter-Trivy Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

docker logs harbor-adapter-trivy

You can configure the containers logging driver 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 Harbor-Adapter-Trivy, 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

docker pull bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:latest

Step 2: Stop the running container

Stop the currently running container using the command

docker stop harbor-adapter-trivy

Step 3: Remove the currently running container

docker rm -v harbor-adapter-trivy

Step 4: Run the new image

Re-create your container from the new image.

docker run --name harbor-adapter-trivy bitnami/harbor-adapter-trivy:latest

Notable Changes

Starting January 16, 2024

  • The docker-compose.yaml file has been removed, as it was solely intended for internal testing purposes.
