## Penpot on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Penpot is the open-source design and prototyping platform - a self-hostable alternative to Figma for UI design, vector illustration, interactive prototyping and developer hand-off, entirely under your own control. This cloudimg image installs Penpot 2.5.4 (Mozilla Public License 2.0) as the official self-host Docker Compose stack, runs it as a systemd service behind the bundled nginx on port 80, stores all data on a dedicated Azure data disk, disables open registration, and creates exactly one per-VM admin on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Design & Prototyping

UI design, vector illustration, interactive prototyping and developer hand-off - a self-hostable Figma alternative entirely under your own control.

Official Stack

The five-container stack pinned to Penpot 2.5.4: penpot-frontend (nginx SPA + reverse proxy on port 80), penpot-backend, penpot-exporter (headless-browser render/export), PostgreSQL 15 and Redis. The image ships the pinned release and never silently upgrades.

Dedicated Data Disk

The PostgreSQL database, Redis data and uploaded design assets live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/penpot, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

Open self-registration is disabled, and exactly one per-VM admin profile is created on first boot with the email and a strong generated password written to a root-only credentials file. No shared admin ships in the image.
