Bitnami containers give you the latest stable versions of your application stacks, allowing you to focus on coding rather than updating dependencies or outdated libraries.
And just like Bitnami cloud and virtual machine images, Bitnami containers are secure, optimized, consistent, and kept up-to-date.
Bitnami is continuing its tradition of making the easiest to use developer environments with a new series of containers.
Optimized for making development in your framework of choice easy and fun, Bitnami Development Containers contain a complete environment all set up and ready to go. Your framework of choice comes pre-installed, and comes configured to work with the included infrastructure containers, such as a database.
For example, our Rails Development Container includes full Rails environment and SQL database (MariaDB) to get developers productive immediately ‐ with all the most common tools ready to go.
And because they're built on top of Stacksmith, they're kept up-to-date to make sure the latest language features are available and you're building on a secure foundation.
Setup is as simple as downloading the desired docker-compose.yml file and then issuing the docker-compose up command.

If you want to create custom containers, keep them up to date, and integrate them into your pipeline, check out Stacksmith:
Stacksmith lets you build a custom container with just a few clicks. After that, Stacksmith will then send you notifications of updates, allowing you to quickly regenerate updated containers.
To integrate with your build pipeline, Stacksmith includes Github and a webhook API to integrate with your CI/CD.
Use them with Bitnami Development Containers, Stacksmith-created containers, or by themselves. If you've used Bitnami cloud or virtual machine images before, you'll find our turnkey containers familiar and easy to use. And like all Bitnami images they're kept up-to-date and secure.
