Setting an installation-wide default workspace image

⚠️ Gitpod Self-hosted has been replaced with Gitpod Dedicated, a self-hosted, single-tenant managed service that runs in your private cloud account but is managed by us.
Try out Gitpod Dedicated.

This guide describes how to set a default workspace image that will apply to your entire Gitpod Self-Hosted installation. Please refer to the Docker image documentation for more information about workspace images.

Note: there are two ways of setting an image for a workspace: via the installation-wide default workspaceImage (mentioned here) and the .gitpod.yml file. The .gitpod.yml file will take precedence if both are set.

Setting a default workspace image

Note: this will apply to your entire installation. If you are using a private registry for your image, please ensure you add it to the allow list and provide credentials for it - for guidance, see using private registries.

Currently, the default workspace image can only be set via the config patch. In the future, we plan to also allow you to set this via the installation UI.
