Container images for Package Manager.
Note
Posit is migrating container images from rstudio/rstudio-docker-products. The previous images remain supported.
| Tool | Required for | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Docker | Running containers locally | Get Docker |
| Helm | Deploying on Kubernetes | Install Helm |
| kubectl | Deploying on Kubernetes | Install kubectl |
| Product license | Running Package Manager | Licensing FAQ, Request a trial license |
| Image | Docker Hub | GitHub Container Registry |
|---|---|---|
| package-manager | docker.io/posit/package-manager |
ghcr.io/posit-dev/package-manager |
Posit publishes additional container images to Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry.
The fastest way to get started is to pull and run a pre-built image.

See the Package Manager installation guide for full setup instructions.
Use the Posit Package Manager Helm chart to deploy on Kubernetes. These images are the default in chart versions >= 0.20.0; see the image migration guide if you are upgrading from an earlier chart version. The chart supports both ARM and x86_64 (AMD64) Kubernetes nodes.
You can build Open Container Initiative (OCI) container images from the definitions in this repository using one of the following container build tools:
Each Containerfile uses the root of the repository as the build context.
PPM_VERSION="2026.04"
# Build the standard Package Manager image using docker
docker buildx build \
--tag package-manager:${PPM_VERSION} \
--file package-manager/${PPM_VERSION}/Containerfile.ubuntu2404.std \
.
# Build the minimal Package Manager image using buildah
buildah build \
--tag package-manager:${PPM_VERSION} \
--file package-manager/${PPM_VERSION}/Containerfile.ubuntu2404.min \
.
# Build the minimal Package Manager image using podman
podman build \
--tag package-manager:${PPM_VERSION} \
--file package-manager/${PPM_VERSION}/Containerfile.ubuntu2404.min \
.To build images with bakery or run the test suite, see the contributing guide.
