Metadata for Paketo Build/Run Stack Images

The following build/run stack images are supported:
Base:
Build Images

• docker.io/paketobuildpacks/build:base-cnb

Run Images

• docker.io/paketobuildpacks/run:base-cnb
• gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/run:base-cnb

Full:
Build Images

• docker.io/paketobuildpacks/build:full-cnb

Run Images

• docker.io/paketobuildpacks/run:full-cnb
• gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/run:full-cnb

Tiny:
Build Images

• docker.io/paketobuildpacks/build:tiny-cnb

Run Images

• docker.io/paketobuildpacks/run:tiny-cnb
• gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/run:tiny-cnb

Note: These images are tagged in the format <stack-name>-cnb. For many of them, there is a corresponding image tagged <stack-name> (i.e. paketobuildpacks/build:base). Those images are useful for extending our stack with your own packages and metadata. The images with the <stack-name>-cnb already have CNB metadata set and can be used directly as stack images.
