# Sonatype Container Deployment - Lifecycle

Sonatype provides templates and Docker images for the following cloud providers and tools.

## Docker Hub

Docker images are available on Docker Hub and are delivered from an associated GitHub repository.

- [Docker Hub sonatype/nexus-iq-server](https://hub.docker.com/r/sonatype/nexus-iq-server/)
- [GitHub sonatype/docker-nexus-iq-server](https://github.com/sonatype/docker-nexus-iq-server)

### Supported Docker image platforms

The `sonatype/nexus-iq-server` Docker image is published as a Linux container image. Current Sonatype-published tags support the following platforms by tag type:

| Tag type | Supported platforms | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `latest` and current versioned tags | `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64` | Linux on x86-64 / Intel / AMD 64-bit systems and Linux on ARM64 / AArch64 systems |
| Current `-alpine` tags | `linux/amd64` | Linux on x86-64 / Intel / AMD 64-bit systems |

- These are Linux container images. Windows container images are not published for this image.
- Platform support refers to the container image runtime platform, not to every possible host OS, Kubernetes distribution, or cloud instance type.
- Use current Docker and container runtime versions that support multi-platform images.
- Third-party or community images are outside the scope of Sonatype-published Docker image support.
- For Lifecycle, supported image platforms do not replace the documented system requirements, sizing guidance, storage requirements, or persistent data recommendations.

Docker automatically selects the image variant that matches the host platform when pulling a multi-platform tag. To request a specific platform, use the Docker `--platform` option.

```
docker pull sonatype/nexus-iq-server:latest
docker pull --platform linux/arm64 sonatype/nexus-iq-server:latest
docker pull --platform linux/amd64 sonatype/nexus-iq-server:latest
```

For pinned versioned tags that support multiple platforms, use the same pattern:

```
docker pull --platform linux/arm64 sonatype/nexus-iq-server:<version>
```

This platform support applies to current Sonatype-published tags. Some older image tags may support fewer platforms, and current `-alpine` tags may support fewer platforms than the corresponding non-Alpine tags. Before pinning an older tag or an Alpine tag, check the Docker Hub tag list or inspect the image manifest:

```
docker buildx imagetools inspect sonatype/nexus-iq-server:<tag>
```

## Helm Charts for Kubernetes

Helm charts are available at Helm Hub.

## Red Hat OpenShift

Certified containers are available through the Red Hat Container Catalog.

- [RHCC for Sonatype IQ Server](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/sonatype/nexus-iq-server/5e5d8063ac3db90370816c66)

Kubernetes Operators are available in the OpenShift OperatorHub for installing servers into OpenShift. Search inside your running OpenShift cluster's Operator Hub to find them.

New operators are released quarterly.

## Iron Bank

Hardened containers are available through Iron Bank, a central repository of digitally signed container images accredited by the US Department of Defense (DoD).
