We plan to rename the GitHub repositories that host Plone's container images so they follow a single container-* convention. Only the repositories change — the image names on Docker Hub and GHCR stay exactly as they are.
| Current repository | New name |
|---|---|
plone/plone-backend |
plone/container-backend |
plone/plone-frontend |
plone/container-frontend |
plone/plone-zeo |
plone/container-zeo |
plone/plone.docker |
plone/container-legacy |
We will also create a new repository, plone/container-aurora, to be the home of the images for Aurora, the future React frontend of Plone.
Why: today the naming is inconsistent (plone-*, plone.docker) and it is not obvious from the name that a repository is about container images. A shared prefix makes them easy to find and gives Aurora a natural place to land.
What this means for you:
docker pull plone/plone-backend:6.1and friends keep working — nothing changes for image users.- GitHub redirects the old repository URLs, so existing clones and links keep working. Still, update your remotes when convenient.
- Issues, PRs, and CI history move with the repositories.
Feedback welcome, especially if you see a reason not to do this, or have a better name for any of them (container-legacy is the one we are least sure about). If there are no objections, we will do the rename on 2026-09-10].
