Jaeger v2 helm chart - where to find official container images and GA availability?

[MeetDev26]

We are testing Jaeger v2 using the Helm chart from the 'v2" branch (https://github.com/jaegertracing/helm-charts/tree/v2). However, we are unable to find official Jaeger v2 container images for components like collector, "query', and otel-collector"•
Questions

• Are official Jaeger v2 images published anywhere (e.g., Docker Hub, ghcr.io, Quay)?
• If not, is building from source the only option for now?
• Is there a timeline for Jaeger v2 GA and official image availability?
• Will the Helm chart automatically reference official images once v2 is GA?

Context
We currently run Jaeger v1 in production and plan to migrate before v1 EOL (Dec 31, 2025). For now, we want to test Jaeger v2 in a non-prod environment, but lack of official Images wakes this harder.

Environment

• Helm chart: v2 branch
• Jager version: intended v2 (alpha/beta)

Hi @MeetDev26! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the jaeger team.

Official Jaeger v2 container images for components like collector, query, and otel-collector are not yet published on Docker Hub, ghcr.io, or Quay. Building from source is currently the only option for testing Jaeger v2 components in non-production environments. There is no announced timeline for Jaeger v2 GA or for when official images will become available citation.

The Helm chart in the v2 branch is designed to reference official images once they are published. Currently, it uses placeholders for image repositories and tags, so once v2 reaches GA and images are released, the chart will be updated to point to those images automatically citation.

For now, if you want to test Jaeger v2, you’ll need to build and push your own images to a registry accessible by your cluster. This is a known challenge for early adopters, and the project is actively working toward GA and official image publication.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Ignore dosu, the answer is completely wrong.

Jaeger v2 comes in a single image, there is no collector, query, etc. You can configure that single image to act in these different roles, e.g. by not including the query/ui extension in the config to act as "collector". See https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/2.11/deployment/

It's been GA for a year.

@MeetDev26 The chart you are using is the GAed chart for Jaeger v2 which is a single binary distribution.
