Recommended Kitsu Docker image that works with AYON

I came across this thread as I am having similar issue with pairing

I am using the official cgwire docker image too.

I have:

  • updated Zou DB as suggested
  • restarted the ayon server

Still I am getting the pairing error

worker-1  | 2025-08-29 00:17:23 ERROR      processor       Exception!
worker-1  |
worker-1  | Traceback (most recent call last):

worker-1  | File "/service/processor/processor.py", line 76, in __init__
worker-1  | self.pairing_list = self.get_pairing_list()
worker-1  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
worker-1  | File "/service/processor/processor.py", line 285, in get_pairing_list
worker-1  | assert res.status_code == 200, f"{self.entrypoint}/pairing failed"
worker-1  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
worker-1  | AssertionError: /addons/kitsu/1.2.5/pairing failed

If we should not be using the oficial docker image of kitsu, which docker image should we be using?

Kind regards

Also, it worth mentioning the officlal kitsu docker image mentions clearly that:

It is not recommended to use this image in production.
It is aimed at testing purposes.

If you’d like to explore alternatives to the official kitsu image.
I encourage you to check this docker image by our amazing community member @Danell
