# Container Images

The Pipekit installation consists of several container images, each of which is responsible for a different part of the Pipekit service. This page documents the images and their respective repository:

| Image Repository | Image Name     | Public or Private? | Required? | Reason image is optional                                                                                           |
| ---------------- | -------------- | ------------------ | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| pipekit13        | cli            | Public             | No        | [Used for accessing the Pipekit CLI in a container](/reference/cli.md#docker-container)                            |
| pipekit13        | pipekit-agent  | Public             | Yes       |                                                                                                                    |
| pipekitprivate   | events-handler | Private            | No        | Only required if you [integrate Pipekit with a git provider](/self-hosting-pipekit/initial-login/git-provider.md). |
| pipekitprivate   | id             | Private            | Yes       |                                                                                                                    |
| pipekitprivate   | messenger      | Private            | Yes       |                                                                                                                    |
| pipekitprivate   | pipekit-init   | Private            | Yes       |                                                                                                                    |
| pipekitprivate   | ui             | Private            | Yes       |                                                                                                                    |
| pipekitprivate   | users          | Private            | Yes       |                                                                                                                    |

In addition to the images listed above, the Pipekit installation also requires the following third-party image:

| Image Repository | Image Name | Public or Private? | Required? |
| ---------------- | ---------- | ------------------ | --------- |
| fluent           | fluent-bit | Public             | Yes       |

There may be additional images required for the installation, depending on how you choose to configure your [third party dependencies](/self-hosting-pipekit/dependencies.md).

## Private Images

You will require a Docker Hub account with access to the `pipekitprivate` repository to pull the private images. This will be provided to you as part of your Pipekit subscription. Contact us at <hello@pipekit.io> for more information.

You will be permitted to attach a single Docker Hub account to the `pipekitprivate` repository. We recommend that you use this account to pull the images onto your own managed repository.

## Non Root Users

All of the Pipekit container images use a non-root user by default.
