# Docker Images

You should use the official docker image:
## Official Image

Generally, you should use the official docker image:

```
kometateam/kometa
```

All the examples in the wiki are assuming the use of this image, and many do not work with non-official Docker images due to differences in how the authors have chosen to construct their images.

## Alternate Images

Generally speaking, we suggest you use the official image instead of these alternates, unless you have a specific reason to use one of these over the official. We do not provide support for issues which specifically relate to using third-party images [LSIO or other].

One alternate image we see a lot is the Linuxserver image, due to its prominent placement in unRAID and linuxserver's general reputation.

## LXML Images
### LXML Images

In March 2024, lxml, a prerequisite for operating Kometa, ceased support for older CPUs. This impedes users from running Kometa on unsupported hardware.
In March 2024, `lxml`, a prerequisite for operating Kometa, ceased support for older CPUs. This impedes users from running Kometa on affected hardware.

To address this issue, we have implemented 'lxml' variants for each Kometa branch (master, develop, and nightly). These variants resume compatibility with older hardware by freezing lxml on a previous version which has wider hardware support.
To address this issue, we have implemented 'lxml' variants for each Kometa branch (master, develop, and nightly). These variants resume compatibility with older hardware by freezing `lxml` on a previous version which has wider hardware support.

To transition to the lxml branch, simply prepend 'lxml-' to the branch name you are currently utilizing. For instance, `kometateam/kometa:lxml-master`, `kometateam/kometa:lxml-develop` and `kometateam/kometa:lxml-nightly`.

This should cover it:

## LinuxServer
### LinuxServer

The first image offered in unRAID for Kometa is the Linuxserver.io image [`linuxserver/kometa`]

There are 8 other images listed at dockerhub aside from the official image and linuxserver. None of them discuss how they are different beyond one noting it includes `curl`.
