Oracle Database

Oracle Database is an awful proprietary database, run away from it!

Install⚑

• Download or clone the files of their docker repository.
• Create an account in their page to be able to download the required binary files. Fake person generator might come handy for this step.

• Download the files.

• After downloading the file we need to copy it to the folder referring to the oracle version in the cloned folder. In this case, 19.3.0:

  mv ~/Download/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip ./docker-images/OracleDatabase/SingleInstance/dockerfiles/19.3.0/
  

• The next step is to build the image. You need at least 20G free in /var/lib/docker.

  ./docker-images/OracleDatabase/SingleInstance/dockerfiles/19.3.0/buildDockerImage.sh -v 19.3.0 -e
  

• Confirm that the image was created

  docker images
  
  REPOSITORY                                TAG           IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
  oracle/database                           19.3.0-ee     d8be8934332d   53 minutes ago   6.54GB
  

• Run the database docker.

  docker run --name myOracle1930 \
   -p 127.0.0.1:1521:1521 \
   -p 127.0.0.1:5500:5500 \

   -e ORACLE_PDB=ORCLPDB1 \
   -e ORACLE_PWD=root \

   -e INIT_PGA_SIZE=1024 \
   -e ORACLE_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8 \
