bitnami-shell image replaced by os-shell? about charts HOT 3 CLOSED

After trying out 14.0.5 of the postgres chart I see that it is indeed pulling the docker.io/bitnami/os-shell:11-debian-11-r96 image.

So this means that all old charts using bitnami-shell have indirectly been removed/invalidated?

Please note there is an already existing issue for this topic (#23406).
Crossposting here some notable comments:

• First notable comment:

The bitnami/bitnami-shell image was deprecated some months ago in favor of bitnami/os-shell (see bitnami/containers#41421). That change was announced with a deprecation notice in the DockerHub README.
After 7 months and following the retention policy defined at README.md#retention-policy, the bitnami/bitnami-shell repo was removed in favor of bitnami/bitnami-shell-archived where all the existing images tags are present.

This process is followed in that way to not keep unmaintained and insecure images not receiving updates for a long time in DockerHub. With the relocation of the images to a different repo, users are aware that they are using a deprecated image. If they want to continue using it, the only required change is the replacement of bitnami/bitnami-shell with bitnami/bitnami-shell-archived in their values.yaml. Although the preferred options are 1) using a newer version of the Helm chart bundling this image or, 2) at least, replacing the image with the maintained bitnami/os-shell.

Hello everyone,

Following your valuable feedback, we have made adjustments to our retention policy to better serve the Bitnami Helm charts community:

• For regular images, the time window in which both repositories (bitnami/foo and bitnami/foo-archived) coexist has been extended from 3 to 6 months. After that period, bitnami/foo will be fully removed.
• Special images, like bitnami/bitnami-shell, which are extensively used in Helm charts, will now have an extended coexistence period of 1 year.

In the case of bitnami/bitnami-shell, it has been recovered and will be removed on July 2024, precisely 1 year after the initial deprecation date.

We strongly encourage everyone to update their deployments to a recent Helm chart version or consider using bitnami/os-shell whenever possible to ensure continued access to updates.

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation! Sorry I missed that other issue, I'll close this and leave any further comments in there.
