bitnami-mongodb-arm

Amazed by the fact that official bitnami/mongodb images are not available for arm64, this repository was created and provides build files for custom bitnami/mongodb compatible images. These can be used for example with the official bitnami mongodb helm charts. While the build process is based on the official bitnami/mongodb and mongo Dockerfiles and binaries, it is a private project and not supported neither by bitnami nor by mongodb. The resulting images are meant to be only used for local development on arm64-based hardware and should not be used on production.

This repository contains build files for following mongodb versions:

• 8.0.4 based on an own custom bitnami/minideb:trixie image
• 7.0.15
• 6.0.13

How-to build and use the images

Use published images

The images built from this repository are published to Docker Hub.

dlavrenuek/bitnami-mongodb-arm:8.0.4
dlavrenuek/bitnami-mongodb-arm:7.0.15
dlavrenuek/bitnami-mongodb-arm:6.0.13

Build images from source

To build a docker image, first go to the image directory you want to use in the terminal, f.e:

cd 6.0/debian-12

Then run following docker build command to build and tag an image. The following example will produce an image with the bitnami-mongodb:6.0.13-local tag:

docker build -t bitnami-mongodb:6.0.13-local .

You can now use the image bitnami-mongodb:6.0.13-local locally.

Usage via docker compose

Example usage with mongodb 6.0 docker-compose.yaml. The dockerfile is configured to build the image from source locally.

cd 6.0/debian-12
docker compose up

Usage with official helm charts

The provided image can be used with the official bitnami helm charts. You can use the example values.yaml as following:

cd 6.0/debian-12
helm install mongo -f values.yaml oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/mongodb

If you want to use the image build from source you will need to upload the image to your registry first. For minikube you can use:

minikube image load bitnami-mongodb:6.0.13-local

This will make the image available as docker.io/library/bitnami-mongodb:6.0.13-local.
