A question:

Docker images are released to Dockerhub at the same time Python packages are released to PyPI |

I mean: are the docker images build using the 'raw' source code from this repository. Or is the main app python file referring to python packages generated? |

The Docker images are built using the raw source code from the repository, but the Python package and Docker image are always released together, so the code in both is identical. |

I feel like having a Docker image is an easier starting point for developers from non-Python backgrounds. And with the nature of PII, the companies that would use it, tend to keep their tech stacks tight, so f.e for a PHP company creating a custom Python code to use a PII provider might be not feasible. |

As a non-python developer, I do not want to dive into using and running python packages, where it is no problem to run another docker container. I feel docker containers are much more operations and multi programming language friendly than the very specific single language packages. Try to imagine you wanted to use something like this yourself and the owner would like to switch from Docker to something language specific in a language you do not want to dive into and not want to learn how to operate. Please keep distributing the docker version 🙏🙂 |

I am developing in R mainly. That said, Presidio could be a valuable tool in the context of data pseudonymization for research. And as a few other people have mentioned, having a Docker image makes things easier. I am currently trying to customize the Docker image for multi-language support but still without success. So having an official Docker image is of valuable help. |

Thanks for the feedback everyone, we will skip the deprecation for now |

Thank you . Is it safe to assume that the Presidio Docker images will not be deprecated |

Hello Presidio community,
We’re exploring a change to how we distribute Presidio and would love your input before making any moves. Our aim is to streamline releases and focus on our core Python packages while still giving container users everything they need to build and run Presidio on their own.
Why We’re Suggesting This Change
Maintaining both pre-built Docker images and Python packages adds CI/CD complexity and slows down our ability to deliver new features, improvements, and fixes. By concentrating on PyPI releases, we can iterate faster on the core product, which is the SDK.
Less overhead means more engineering time for performance optimizations, richer documentation, and enhanced test coverage of the Python libraries - Presidio’s primary interface.
We know that many advanced use cases involve tweaking the Dockerfile (adjusting dependencies and configurations). Instead of publishing opaque images, we’d surface the Dockerfiles so you can build exactly the image you need for the platform you need.
What This Could Mean for You
We’d Love Your Feedback
