KrakenD is now an official Docker image!

We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for the KrakenD community: KrakenD is now available as an official Docker image! 🎉

This means that open source users can pull KrakenD directly from Docker Hub using the much simpler and cleaner image name:

docker pull krakend

No more relying on third-party or community-maintained images. KrakenD now sits alongside the most trusted and widely-used projects in the Docker ecosystem.

What changes for you?

Future releases of KrakenD Community Edition will be published in the official Docker Hub, and the older namespace devopsfaith/krakend is discontinued from now on. Enterprise users will continue using krakend/krakend-ee with no changes.

The first available version as official image is 2.9.3. So, the latest image:

devopsfaith/krakend:2.9.3

is now:

krakend:2.9.3

Older versions have not been ported to the official image because the latest security fixes are on 2.9.3 and future versions.

As per the :watch tag, this will be discontinued in the open source version, but you can easily build it and push it to your Docker registry.

Why this matters

Becoming an official Docker image means KrakenD meets Docker’s highest standards for community images. It ensures:

• Regular, automated builds
• Up-to-date security patches
• Reliable tagging and versioning
• Faster, verified pulls

This simplifies workflows, improves trust and security, and ensures that your deployments use a rigorously maintained and officially verified image. For teams relying on Docker in CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, or container-based architectures, this streamlines your setup and removes the guesswork around image provenance.

What’s next?

We’ll continue to update the official image in sync with KrakenD releases. Stay tuned for upcoming tags reflecting new versions and build improvements. You can always find the image and tag details on our Docker Hub page and documentation pages.

Thank you to the Docker maintainers and our community for your support and feedback—and a big shoutout to everyone who made this possible in the official images pull request.

Let’s keep building fast, secure, and scalable APIs—now with even smoother Docker support.
