Where this comes from
The OS release under each tag is read from that tag’s build steps on Docker Hub (the official node image), once a day; last read on 16 Oct 2026. Support dates come from endoflife.date (MIT License), which follows Node.js’s release policy. Official images are rebuilt on newer OS releases over time, so a tag can move to a newer OS; this page follows it. See Methodology & sources.
