  • Extend Bitnami Cassandra Image to customize the configuration in cassandra.yaml
    1 project | dev.to | 29 Apr 2024
    There are multiple benefits of using the images from Bitnami. We can refer to their github repo for additional details. The Bitnami image from cassandra provides us the option to override few of the configurations in the cassandra.yaml file by passing the values as environment variables. For eg: When we provide an environment variable - CASSANDRA_CLUSTER_NAME – to the container, the value of this variable gets updated in the cassandra.yaml -> cluster_name field.

    Have a look at the postgresql readme file to see the value they add: https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/post...

    When you use a bunch of different containers from Bitnami, you'll start to notice common configuration patterns which make managing the containers easier.

    On the flipside, the additional configuration sometimes contradicts to the official documentation, so that can add complexity from time to time.

  • Bitnami ARM containers available at Docker Hub
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Feb 2023
    I can't comment on ARM because all of my workloads are x86, but the Bitnami containers are almost always a good bet: https://bitnami.com/stacks/containers

    Currently I build all of my language runtime containers myself (such as Java, Python, .NET, Node and so on) for the sake of simplicity and common tools, but when I'm dealing with something more complex to configure or turnkey software (think along the lines of Keycloak, MinIO, RabbitMQ, Redis, as well as databases like MariaDB or PostgreSQL), then I often just go with what Bitnami is offering. Here's their GitHub with a bit more information about why someone might use their images: https://github.com/bitnami/containers

    Of course, do have a look at their instructions, because in the case of some of their images there can be some differences from the alternatives, for example: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/bitnami-mar... (in short, the official MariaDB image uses "/var/lib/mysql" and Bitnami MariaDB image uses "/bitnami/mariadb" for persistence; that tripped me up)
