bitnami-shell image replaced by os-shell?

[Mark90]

Name and Version

bitnami/postgresql 12.1.5

What architecture are you using?

None

What steps will reproduce the bug?

We are using version 12.1.5 of the postgres chart. Up until yesterday this this chart installed fine. Today it doesn't as the bitnami-shell image seems to not be on Docker hub anymore. Has this image been removed in favor of os-shell?

Are you using any custom parameters or values?

No response

What is the expected behavior?

No response

What do you see instead?

Failed to pull image "docker.io/bitnami/bitnami-shell:11-debian-11-r62": failed to pull and unpack image "docker.io/bitnami/bitnami-shell:11-debian-11-r62": failed to resolve reference "docker.io/bitnami/bitnami-shell:11-debian-11-r62": pull access denied, repository does not exist or may require authorization: server message: insufficient_scope: authorization failed

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 Although the preferred options are 1) using a newer version of the Helm chart bundling this image or, 2) at least, replacing the image with the maintained bitnami/os-shell.

• Second notable comment:

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.
