Runtime Defaults
All current base images share a few defaults:- Ubuntu 24.04 as the base OS.
- A default
ubuntuuser with home directory at/home/ubuntu. - Default working directory set to
/home/ubuntu. - A writable app directory at
/usr/src/app. - Sandbox filesystem APIs enabled for the standard writable roots.
Which Image To Choose
Choosenode when you want a minimal JavaScript or TypeScript runtime.
Choose python when your workload is Python-first and you want pip and venv ready out of the box.
Choose node-chromium when you need a browser-capable image with Chromium already installed and want the best starting point for browser automation or desktop-style workflows.
