A free, signed replacement for Bitnami
Broadcom moved the free Bitnami secure-images catalog to a paid model in 2025, leaving teams that built on bitnami/* images and charts looking for a maintained, hardened replacement. QuenchWorks is that replacement: a free, MIT-licensed, clean-room catalog of 0-CVE container images and signed Helm charts. It is built independently from source on Wolfi — not a fork or copy of Bitnami charts — and every claim is yours to verify.

Conservative on purpose: where a fact about Bitnami could not be confirmed from a primary source, it is marked "Varies" or "Partial" rather than guessed. Verify every claim against Bitnami’s own public sources before relying on it.
Free, signed, and yours to verify.
