SapMachine OCI/Docker Images

SapMachine provides official OCI/Docker images for a variety of use cases.

Official image locations

• GitHub Packages (SAP Garden Linux) — preferred: https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/pkgs/container/sapmachine/versions
  SAP Garden Linux is a Debian-like operating system; the Garden Linux base images are prioritized because they receive security updates more frequently and therefore contain far fewer CVEs and vulnerabilities. This is the recommended choice for SAP business applications.

• Docker Hub (Ubuntu, Alpine) — legacy support only: https://hub.docker.com/_/sapmachine
  These images are provided for legacy compatibility. For production workloads, please migrate to the Garden Linux images. If you encounter issues with the Ubuntu/Alpine images, retry on the Garden Linux images.

These pages contain details about available tags and usage.

Supported updates & maintenance

• Only SapMachine major releases that are in maintenance at the time of image creation will receive updates.
• Major releases that are no longer in maintenance will not be updated.

Note: Only operating systems that are still maintained by their vendors are supported. OS-related issues are the responsibility of the respective OS vendor.

Intended use

• Images are provided for testing, demonstration, and as examples to help you build your own production images.
• Build and maintain your own image variants based on these examples and your security policies for productive use.

Warning: No warranty or liability is provided for these images.

Recommendations

• Periodically check this page and the Maintenance and Support page for updates.
• Pin image tags explicitly in deployments to avoid unexpected upgrades.
• Scan images for vulnerabilities and apply your organization’s hardening practices.
