What's the value proposition for bitnami container images? I mean, why would I choose bitnami/postgresql over the "Docker Official Image" postgres?

(genuine question)

Have a look at the postgresql readme file to see the value they add: https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/post...

When you use a bunch of different containers from Bitnami, you'll start to notice common configuration patterns which make managing the containers easier.

On the flipside, the additional configuration sometimes contradicts to the official documentation, so that can add complexity from time to time.

I used bitnami wordpress in AWS lightsail. I was disappointed that the upgrade path is “backup your wordpress and deploy to a new bitnami image”.
