Hi Sebastian,

We have dropped the "wikimedia-" prefix for base distribution images, you can safely use the "bookworm" image as a base image.

Regarding python images, the python-build-* images are for building wheels that can be copied over to a runtime image. The python3-bullseye and python3-buster images are runtime images. The python3 image (without suffix) is deprecated.  We do not yet produce a python3-bookworm image, although I think that can be arranged pretty easily.

In the meantime, using the bookworm image and using blubber's apt directive to install python3, python3-pip, and python3-setuptools will give you the same thing.

All these images are base and production images images built through docker-pkg following the "generations" outlined in our Kubernetes image building policy.

Hope this helps,

I'm updating some blubberised repos that a colleague of mine created some time ago and I'm not sure what base images from the Docker registry are the best to use.

For instance, one repo uses docker-registry.wikimedia.org/wikimedia-buster as base image in .pipeline/blubber.yaml. I thought I'd update to Bookworm as the newest stable Debian release, but there is no image "wikimedia-bookworm", only "bookworm". I'd like to know what's different in the the ones with the wikimedia- prefix.

There are also several different ones for Python, e.g. "python3", "python3-buster" and "python3-build-buster".

Is there documentation somewhere or links to repos where I can see what Docker or Blubber files were used to create them?
