Why use Bitnami Secure Images?

Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise OS Photon Linux. Why choose BSI images?

• Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
• Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
• Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
• Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
• First class support for the internet’s favorite Helm charts

Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in our public catalog here. Note: Some data is only available with commercial subscriptions to BSI.

If you are looking for our previous generation of images based on Debian Linux, please see the Bitnami Legacy registry.

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.

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.

Additionally, any environment variable beginning with JANUSGRAPH_CFG_ will be mapped to its corresponding JanusGraph key. For example, use JANUSGRAPH_CFG_STORAGE_BACKEND in order to set storage.backed or JANUSGRAPH_CFG_CACHE_DB__CACHE in order to configure cache.db-cache.

Using mounted configuration

The image looks for configuration files (janusgraph.properties, gremlin-server.yaml) in the /bitnami/janusgraph/conf/, this can be changed by setting the JANUSGRAPH_MOUNTED_CONF_DIR environment variable.

docker run --name janusgraph -v /path/to/janusgraph.properties:/bitnami/janusgraph/conf/janusgraph.properties -v /path/to/gremlin-server.yaml:/bitnami/janusgraph/conf/gremlin-server.yaml  bitnami/janusgraph:latest
