This is going to cause some disruptions. What are the alternatives out there to bitnami charts?

They're all open source - fork the repo and start collectively maintain them.

  That doesn't really answer the question, does it?

    You asked for an alternative and that seems like an alternative to me.

      It's not and I wasn't the one who asked

My first thought was Linuxcontainers but I think they just maintain docker images, not helm charts

Check out Artifact Hub, the CNCF-hosted charts from projects like Prometheus/Grafana, or the official k8s-at-home charts as solid alternatives to Bitnami.

The source code for Bitnami containers and Helm charts remains publicly available on GitHub and continues to be licensed under Apache 2. What’s changing is that Bitnami will no longer publish the full catalog of container images to DockerHub. If you need any image, you can still build/package it yourself from the open-source GitHub repositories.

  What about the bitnami:minideb base image? Or the stacksmith files necessary to build certain images? Without access to these resources, it will not be possible to rebuild the images, will it?

    Seems to be Apache 2 https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/1694284885fecfb852b0dfd6fd78f4f923a081d9/LICENSE.md https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/1694284885fecfb852b0... and it has GHA (although I didn't verify that it could plausibly run outside of their GH org) https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/1694284885fecfb852b0dfd6fd78f4f923a081d9/.github/actions/build/action.yml#L40 https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/1694284885fecfb852b0...

    Projects like Sealed Secrets and minideb remain unaffected by these changes. Container images for both projects will continue to be released on Docker Hub (docker.io/bitnami) as usual, without any modifications. The source code will continue to be available for containers, allowing you to build them from source and future versions as well. The Stacksmith tarballs will also remain available. The planned action is to stop providing the already built containers on Docker Hub.

https://artifacthub.io/ https://artifacthub.io/ I don't know why but Artifact Hub never shows up in Google search when you search for "web site with helm charts". Hopefully this gives it a boost.
