rdesktop Phased Deprecation Notice

Deprecations rdesktop


Following the release of our Selkies-based Webtop images, we have decided to begin a phased deprecation of our rdesktop images. Due to substantial overhead in maintaining so many rdesktop-specific images, and with webtop now covering most use cases, this process will start with the removal of all non-Ubuntu image versions on 2025-09-30. If you are currently using a non-Ubuntu version of rdesktop we recommend migrating to one of the Ubuntu tags before this date.

Beyond this, we will reassess the usage of the remaining image versions and make a decision as to the viability of the rdesktop platform. Once a decision has been made we will publish information about the process and timescales involved.


Once an image has been deprecated you can no longer pull the latest or branch (develop, nightly, etc.) tags and will need to use a specific version tag if you still need access to the image. You can read more about this here.
