Bitnami Changed
the Rules.
Root Didn’t.
The Registry You Trusted Just Got Locked Down
Bitnami's New Reality
In 2024, Broadcom bought Bitnami and what was once the open, production-ready container registry is now a maze of licensing fees, Photon OS lock-in, and abandoned tags.
Legacy registry: Frozen. No updates. Vulnerabilities piling up.
Mainline registry: Photon OS only. Refactor or pay up.
Production use: Paywall required — if you can even find the pricing.
Your options?
Stay exposed, refactor your stack, or start over. Unless you switch to Root.
Root Is the Bitnami Replacement.
Without the Lock-in.
01
Drop-in Compatible. Zero Refactoring.
Root images use Alpine, Debian, and Ubuntu — the OSes your team already runs.
No Photon OS. No YAML rewrites. No dev retraining.
02
Zero Vulnerabilities. Always.
Every Root image is patched before you pull it. Every tag. Every version.Security handled in seconds - not months.
03
Full Version History.
You get every version, continuously updated.
Bitnami dropped history — Root preserves it.
04
Transparent Pricing.
No guessing. No hidden “production” clauses.
