ForgeOps

Customization overview

This section covers how developers build custom Docker images for the Ping Identity Platform. It also contains important conceptual material that you need to understand before you start creating Docker images.

Configuration container

In ForgeOps release 2026.1, AM and IDM configuration profiles have been moved out of the PingAM and PingIDM images into dedicated BusyBox containers. You can now customize the configuration profiles and rebuild only the configuration BusyBox images.

It is highly recommended to deploy the latest platform images in a production environment only after due customization and testing.
