Camunda Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened Camunda image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

Camunda helps organizations automate and monitor multi-step business processes (e.g., order fulfillment, approval workflows, claims processing). By modeling workflows visually with the BPMN standard, a single engine coordinates the people, systems, and services involved. This image provides a unified, containerized deployment of the Camunda 8 orchestration cluster that bundles the process engine, operational monitoring, and human task management. It enables developers to easily spin up a scalable, cloud-native platform without complex manual configuration.

Try It Out

Camunda requires a secondary storage backend (Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or RDBMS) to run, and enables API authentication by default with no built-in user. For a quick local test, use Camunda's embedded H2 database and disable the authentication check — no external database or user setup needed:

docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e CAMUNDA_DATA_SECONDARY_STORAGE_TYPE=rdbms \
-e CAMUNDA_SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION_UNPROTECTEDAPI=true \
reg.mini.dev/camunda

Wait a minute for the server to initialize, then confirm the engine is ready by requesting the cluster topology:

curl http://localhost:8080/v2/topology

Visit the Operate console at http://localhost:8080/operate to monitor running process instances, and the Tasklist console at http://localhost:8080/tasklist to complete human tasks in a workflow.

Note: the embedded H2 database and disabled authentication are intended for local testing only, not production use.

Technical Considerations

The Camunda image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.

Camunda built by Minimus:

The Minimus -dev variant matches the public image's full package set. The production image drops dev-only packages, including apk-tools, git, and wget, along with their library closure (libcurl, krb5-libs/krb5-conf, libldap, cyrus-sasl, heimdal-libs, keyutils-libs, libcom_err, libnghttp2, libssl3, libpsl, libidn2, libunistring, libverto, sqlite-libs, readline, gdbm).
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.
