Workspace Images

Ready-to-use Docker images for gitpod.io workspaces. All images are available on Gitpod's Docker Hub page.

For an example of how to use these images, please take a look at the documentation.

📢 Announcements

We upgraded to support dazzle v2 and build with GitHub Actions.

Summary

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
• OS Type: Linux
• Architecture: x86_64

Images

By default, Gitpod uses a standard Docker Image called workspace-full as the foundation for workspaces.

Workspaces started based on this default image come pre-installed with Docker, Nix, Go, Java, Node.js, C/C++, Python, Ruby, Rust & PHP as well as tools such as Homebrew, Tailscale, Nginx & several more.

If this image does not include the tools you need for your repository, we recommend you start with workspace-base and customize it according to your needs. You can refer to this document to setup a custom docker image.

Versions we'll maintain

For images dedicated to Java, Node, Python and Ruby, their lifecycle generally works as follows:

• If an image does not have a version in its name, we try to keep it at its latest stable version
• If an image is versioned (like workspace-python-3.12), we'll support it until it reaches End of Life
