Images Available

SUSE Linux Base Container Images (SUSE Linux BCI) provide three types of container images:

  • General-purpose images allow building custom container images and deploying applications.

  • Language stack images allow developing and deploying applications in specific programming languages.

  • Application stack images feature popular containerized applications like Nginx, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB.

General-purpose

The general-purpose container images come with a minimum set of packages to keep their size small. You can use it as a starting point for building other container images, or to deploy specific software using the free BCI repository.

For more information, see the general-purpose guide.

Language stack

The language stack container images include the most common tools for building and deploying applications in their specific language environment. This includes tools like a compiler or interpreter, as well as the language-specific package manager.

It is possible to customize the image using the free BCI repository.

For more information, see the language stack guide.

Application stack

The application stack container images offer production-ready applications. These container images don’t include a package manager or the free BCI repository.

For more information, see the application stack guide.
