Bitnami will soon shut down its free public catalog of charts and images: https://community.broadcom.com/tanzu/blogs/beltran-rueda-borrego/2025/08/18/how-to-prepare-for-the-bitnami-changes-coming-soon
Existing charts will be moved to a new legacy registry, however they will stop receiving security updates and Bitnami (read Broadcom) plans to scrap that too at some point anyway. To continue using the same images we would need to pay a subscription for the new Bitnami Secure Images.
We will need to find a replacement for the MariaDB Bitnami chart that we use in several places. A couple of possibilities:
- Make a copy of the current chart and publish it to https://docker-registry.wikimedia.org. We would need to maintain it ourselves
- https://github.com/CloudPirates-io/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/mariadb. We would need to verify the current chart in prod can be migrated safely
- https://github.com/mariadb-operator/mariadb-operator. As the one above, need to verify the current chart in prod can be migrated safely
