ubuntu/cassandra repository overview

⁠WARNING: this image has been discontinued

The Apache Cassandra image has been discontinued.

This means that this image will no longer be released with new tags based in recent Ubuntu releases or new versions of Apache Cassandra. However, the active tags listed below will still receive security updates when needed.

Once the most recent tag listed below is deprecated, this repository will no longer receive security updates.

⁠Apache Cassandra | Ubuntu

Current Apache Cassandra Docker Image from Canonical⁠, based on Ubuntu. Receives security updates and rolls to newer Apache Cassandra or Ubuntu release. This repository is free to use and exempted from per-user rate limits.

⁠About Apache Cassandra

Apache Cassandra is an open source NoSQL distributed database trusted by thousands of companies for scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Linear scalability and proven fault-tolerance on commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it a good platform for mission-critical data.

⁠Tags and Architectures

Up to 5 years of free security maintenance on LTS channels.

Up to 10 years of customer security maintenance from Canonical's restricted repositories⁠.

Channel Tags shows the most stable channel for that track ordered stable, candidate, beta, edge. More risky channels are always implicitly available. So if beta is listed, you can also pull edge. If candidate is listed, you can pull beta and edge. When stable is listed, all four are available. Images are guaranteed to progress through the sequence edge, beta, candidate before stable.

⁠Commercial use and Extended Security Maintenance channels

If your usage includes commercial redistribution, or requires ESM or unavailable channels/versions, please get in touch with the Canonical team⁠ (or using [email protected]⁠).

⁠Testing/Debugging

To debug the container:

docker logs -f cassandra-container

To get an interactive shell:

docker exec -it cassandra-container /bin/bash

⁠Deploy with Kubernetes

Works with any Kubernetes; if you don't have one, we recommend you install MicroK8s⁠ and microk8s.enable dns storage then snap alias microk8s.kubectl kubectl.

Download cassandra-deployment.yml⁠ and set containers.cassandra.image in cassandra-deployment.yml to your chosen channel tag (e.g. ubuntu/cassandra:4.0-22.04_beta), then:

kubectl apply -f cassandra-deployment.yml

You can now access the cassandra server on port 9042 (e.g., cqlsh localhost 9042)
