Anyone know what happens to their Helm charts? As far as I know they remain available but do they work with non-Bitnami images? Can I use the official redis image instead of bitnami/redis with the Bitnami redis chart for example?
This is covered in the official GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/35164
Q: What will happen to the existing OCI Helm charts? A: The already packaged Helm charts will remain available at docker.io/bitnamicharts as OCI artifacts, but they will no longer receive updates. Deploying these charts will not work out-of-the-box unless you override the bundled images with valid ones. *except for the BSI images included in the free community-tier subset.
That’s the first part, but will the charts work if I override the image name with a non-Bitnami one (e.g. docker.io/library/redis for redis)? Or do they bake in special stuff in their images that their charts rely on?
You need the images that go with the charts. They have their own config system, which usually involves elaborate shell scripts in the images that receives parameters from the chart.
It is hard to tell if it will work or not. Just need to compare the image and test the override out.
