As was [mentioned by Bernhard](https://discuss.daml.com/t/docker-image-for-canton-open-source-2-8-0/7040/2), Digital Asset stopped publishing open-source Docker images beginning with Daml 2.8.0. However, _Digital Asset is still publishing [the open-source JAR files](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/releases/tag/v2.9.5)._

Alternatives come to mind:

1. For the long-term, you’ll probably want to craft a Dockerfile to build Docker images that meet your specific needs. The open-source JAR files _are_ still published (for example, [2.9.5](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/releases/tag/v2.9.5)).

2. For those just getting started with Canton 2.x, the previously-published, [open-source Docker 2.7.9 image](https://hub.docker.com/r/digitalasset/canton-open-source/tags?name=2.7.9) is sufficient for getting the general idea.

3. If your use case does not require containerization, you could use the JAR files directly.

4. In the future, perhaps someone else will start publishing open-source Docker images in Dockerhub.
