This change removes free access to most versioned images and halts updates to already-packaged charts, breaking image and chart pulls unless repositories are updated. To assist users in remediating this risk, Chkk has published a collection of known alternative Docker images and Helm Charts at [chkk-io/bitnami-alternatives](https://github.com/chkk-io/bitnami-alternatives) public source code repository. The `chkk bitnami` command detects Bitnami artifacts running in a cluster and lists known alternative artifacts. The `chkk bitnami` command **does not require a Chkk account or login**. [Download](https://docs.chkk.io/overview/installation#chkk-cli) the `chkk` CLI tool and run `chkk bitnami`. The command will then ask you to select one or more Kubernetes Clusters in which to detect Bitnami Docker images and Helm Charts: ``` $ chkk bitnami Found 1 total Kubernetes Clusters in your kubeconfig. Use the arrow keys to navigate: ↓ ↑ → ← and / toggles search Select the clusters in which to detect Bitnami Docker images and Helm Charts. Select "Submit" to submit choices. → Submit kind-bitnami-demo (https://127.0.0.1:40081) ``` Once you have used the arrow keys to select the Clusters to inspect, arrow up to the Submit line and hit Enter. ``` $ chkk bitnami Found 1 total Kubernetes Clusters in your kubeconfig. You made the following 1 selections: 1: kind-bitnami-demo (https://127.0.0.1:40081) Are you sure you want to submit these? Enter 'n' to select again. (Y/n) ``` We will ask you to confirm your selected clusters. Hit Enter again to do so and `chkk bitnami` will display any detected Bitnami artifacts and list any known alternatives: ``` 3 unique Bitnami Docker images detected in cluster "kind-bitnami-demo" ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── DOCKER.IO/BITNAMILEGACY/ARGO-CD:3.1.1-DEBIAN-12-R0 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────┬────────────┬───────────┬───────────────────────────────┐ │ CLUSTER │ KIND │ NAMESPACE │ RESOURCE NAME │ ├───────────────────┼────────────┼───────────┼───────────────────────────────┤ │ kind-bitnami-demo │ Deployment │ default │ argocd-argo-cd-app-controller │ │ kind-bitnami-demo │ Deployment │ default │ argocd-argo-cd-repo-server │ │ kind-bitnami-demo │ Deployment │ default │ argocd-argo-cd-server │ └───────────────────┴────────────┴───────────┴───────────────────────────────┘ ⚠️ bitnamilegacy: archived/versioned images — no updates or support;
