container
I write this blog to test one of the Oracle provided docker image for database 23c.
I found it very easy to setup a quick database environment to do some tests. You don't need any virtual machine, Vagrant or anything to setup this.
The Oracle Database 23c Free server Container image contains a pre-built database running on Oracle Linux 8, so the startup time is very fast.
This image contains a default database in a multitenant configuration with one pluggable database.
Pre-requisite : You should have docker installed on your system.
Here is the link for Oracle registry where you can find docker images.
Click on Database
Click on free Repository
You can use below command to pull the image and then run it.
docker pull container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:latest
Or I used the direct Docker run command and provide variables in the command.
docker run -d --name myoradb1 -p 1521:1521 -p 5500:5500 -e ORACLE_PWD=Welcome1 -e ORACLE_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8 -v ${PWD}/opt/oracle/oradata:/opt/oracle/oradata container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:latest
This command will pull the image and run it.
In the above command
container name = myoradb1
Port mapping = 1521:1521
Port mapping = 5500:5500
Set env. variable = ORACLE_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8
Set volume = ${PWD}/opt/oracle/oradata:/opt/oracle/oradata
Container Registry = container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:latest
Once this is done, you can see the image using below command.
I used docker desktop on my windows machine, so we can also see the image on Docker desktop
Now let me start the container in interactive mode to login into Database.
Connect As you see in my above docker command I used port mapping, so we can connect this DB
from any external tool like SQL developer, toad etc. from laptop
