Hi everyone,
We’re running Mender 3.7.7 (Open Source) on EKS using Helm chart v5.11.2. Everything was working fine until a recent cluster migration — our MongoDB and Redis pods stopped pulling because they rely on Bitnami images, which Broadcom is deprecating and moving behind a paywall.
We were able to pinned the image digests that were still cached on the nodes as a temporary fix, but we know this won’t last.
What would be the recommended path to overcome this situation?
A few specific questions:
- Has anyone successfully migrated their MongoDB data from the Bitnami sub-chart to an external MongoDB instance?
- We’re on the Open Source version but Redis is still running — is it actually needed, or can we safely disable it?
- Any gotchas we should be aware of?
Our current setup:
- Mender:
3.7.7(Open Source) - Helm chart:
v5.11.2 - MongoDB: Bitnami sub-chart
- Redis: Bitnami sub-chart
Any advice or shared experience would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
