Run all three products together. Update the license file paths on the host (and the optional configuration file paths) before starting the stack.

These images are the default in Posit Helm chart versions >= 0.20.0. See the image migration guide if you are upgrading from an earlier chart version, or each product's chart docs for configuration:

• Posit Connect Helm chart
• Posit Package Manager Helm chart
• Posit Workbench Helm chart

For examples of extending Minimal base images, see the extending examples.

Ubuntu 24.04 is the default OS for all images.

• {version}: latest OS, standard variant (for example, 2026.04.1)
• {version}-{os}: explicit OS, standard variant (for example, 2026.04.1-ubuntu-24.04)
• {version}-{os}-{variant}: explicit OS and variant (for example, 2026.04.1-ubuntu-24.04-std)
• latest: latest version, default OS, standard variant
• Content and session images: R{r_version}-python{python_version}-{os} (for example, R4.5.2-python3.14.3-ubuntu-24.04)

• Docker Hub: posit
• GitHub Container Registry: posit-dev

Specialized images are pre-configured for managed cloud platforms and are consumed through those platforms rather than directly via docker run. See the images-specialized README for platform-specific guidance.

All product image repositories use shared tooling from the images-shared repository:

• Bakery CLI: manages matrixed container image builds with variant support (Standard std and Minimal min), version management, and parallel building via Docker Buildx Bake.
• CI Workflows: shared GitHub Actions workflows for building, testing, and pushing images.
• Bakery Examples: step-by-step examples for building custom images with Bakery.
• Extending Examples: examples of extending Minimal base images with additional layers (Python, R, system dependencies, and others).

Each Containerfile (or Dockerfile) is static and supports multiple container build tools (for example, docker buildx bake and podman). Bakery generates Containerfiles from Jinja2 templates, resolves dependency versions, and renders templates into build-ready files with no runtime logic.

Posit rebuilds images for all supported product versions weekly so system packages use current security patches.

Posit is adding multi-platform images as ARM64 chipset support rolls out across products.

Package Manager and Connect have multi-platform images that support linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

A single configuration file (bakery.yaml) defines the following:

We expect all contributors to adhere to the project's Code of Conduct and create a positive and inclusive community.
