Container Images

The Barman Cloud Plugin is distributed using two container images:

  • One for deploying the plugin components
  • One for the sidecar that runs alongside each PostgreSQL instance in a CloudNativePG Cluster using the plugin

Plugin Container Image​

The plugin image contains the logic required to operate the Barman Cloud Plugin within your Kubernetes environment with CloudNativePG. It is published on the GitHub Container Registry at ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud.

This image is built from the Dockerfile.plugin in the plugin repository.

Sidecar Container Image​

The sidecar image is used within each PostgreSQL pod in the cluster. It includes the latest supported version of Barman Cloud and is responsible for performing WAL archiving and backups on behalf of CloudNativePG.

It is available at ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud-sidecar and is built from the Dockerfile.sidecar.

These sidecar images are designed to work seamlessly with the minimal PostgreSQL container images maintained by the CloudNativePG Community.
