Container Images

Official SPIRE container images are published to the GitHub Container Registry with each release:

Images are tagged with the release version number, without the leading v. For example, to pull the SPIRE Server and SPIRE Agent images for the latest release (v1.16.0):

$ docker pull ghcr.io/spiffe/spire-server:1.16.0
$ docker pull ghcr.io/spiffe/spire-agent:1.16.0

Helm Charts

For Kubernetes, the SPIRE stack is packaged as Helm charts by the helm-charts-hardened project and published to the Helm repository at https://spiffe.github.io/helm-charts-hardened/ (also browsable on Artifact Hub). This is the easiest and supported way to deploy a complete SPIRE stack in Kubernetes:

$ helm repo add spiffe https://spiffe.github.io/helm-charts-hardened/
$ helm repo update

See About SPIRE Helm Charts Hardened for installation and configuration instructions.

Build from Source

To build SPIRE from source on Linux, you’ll need:

git - To clone the source from GitHub. Alternatively, you could use curl or wget.
make - To run the Makefile
gcc - To build the binaries

The build script installs the required toolchain as needed, except for gcc. For example, the build script installs a private version of go that has been verified to successfully build SPIRE.

To build SPIRE on macOS, see Building SPIRE on macOS/Darwin.

Fetching

First, fetch the SPIRE repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/spiffe/spire && cd spire

Building

To build the binaries from source:

$ make build

The built binaries are placed in bin.

Getting Help

If you run make help, you’ll see a complete list of available make commands, along with descriptions of what those commands do.
