Docker Image​

Pomerium also provides Docker container images. You can find Pomerium's images on Docker Hub. Pomerium can be pulled in several flavors and architectures.

  • :vX.Y.Z corresponds to a specific tagged release.

    $ docker run pomerium/pomerium:v0.25.0 --version
    pomerium: 0.25.0-1704902203+e6ed4d53
    envoy: 1.28.0+eb930e32ab5555643e09d11d490e392d0a790c5a80eb0b0ebacb1046bdbb114d

  • :vX.Y corresponds to the latest patch release for a specific minor version (starting with v0.25).

    $ docker pull cr.pomerium.com/pomerium/pomerium:v0.25

  • :latest corresponds to the most recent tagged release.

    $ docker pull cr.pomerium.com/pomerium/pomerium:latest

  • :main corresponds to the most recent development build from the main git branch.

    $ docker pull cr.pomerium.com/pomerium/pomerium:main

Rootless images for official releases are also published to provide additional security. In these images, Pomerium runs as the nonroot user. Depending on your deployment environment, you may need to grant the container additional capabilities or change the listen address to use a port number other than 443.

  • :nonroot-vX.Y.Z is the rootless image for a specific release.
  • :nonroot is the rootless equivalent to the :latest tag.

All of the above images use a minimal base image, but "debug" images are also available. Debug images include a shell environment, to allow operators to perform debugging steps from inside the container. Prepend debug- to any other image tag to obtain the corresponding debug image. For example:

  • :debug-vX.Y.Z is the debug image for a specific release.
  • :debug-nonroot is the debug image for the latest :nonroot image.
  • :debug is the debug equivalent of the :latest tag.

Kubernetes​

warning

As of v0.19.0, Pomerium no longer supports Helm for Kubernetes deployments.

We recommend following the steps in the Kubernetes Installation guide to deploy Pomerium with Kubernetes, or see the Kubernetes Quickstart for a proof of concept of how to configure and deploy Pomerium with Kubernetes.
