Jahia Community

March 11, 2026
Jahia Community is an Open-Source version of Jahia Distribution. If you are a Jahia customer, we encourage you to use the Jahia Enterprise distribution.
Want to talk to Jahia Expert? don't hesitate to contact our team.

Overview

Jahia Community (also referred to as Jahia Open-Core) is our open-core distribution of Jahia. It contains only the open‑source components of Jahia and is shipped exclusively as a Docker image.

It’s a fully functioning Jahia, a good resource for independent developers interested in tinkering with Jahia or looking to build sites expected to receive small to medium traffic and not requiring enterprise capabilities.

Need to scale up (to handle high traffic, advanced operational features, enterprise modules, SLAs) or looking for support? Jahia Enterprise is the supported path, with easy migration from Jahia Community.

You can find more details about the different options on this page.

Support and Quality notice

Jahia Community is provided on a best-effort basis:

  • it does not undergo the same level of testing as the Enterprise release,
  • it does not include enterprise SLAs nor Support.
  • it does not support the installation of Enterprise modules

If you run into issues, please reach out on GitHub, providing clear reproduction scenarios (including logs + your Docker image tag + steps to reproduce). Although there is not SLA, your feedback helps us improve the Community experience.
