This image is based on Alpine GNU C library image (cosmomill/alpine-glibc), which is only a 5MB image, and provides a docker image for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Express Edition.
- If you want to build this image, you will need to download Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Express Edition for Linux x64.
- Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Express Edition requires Docker 1.10.0 and above. (Docker supports
--shm-sizesince Docker 1.10.0) - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Express Edition uses shared memory for MEMORY_TARGET and needs at least 1 GB.
This image is intended to be a base image for your projects, so you may use it like this:
FROM cosmomill/alpine-oracle-xe
# Optional, auto import of sh, sql and dmp files at first startup
ADD my_schema.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
# Optional, add required file for APEX update
ADD apex_18.1.zip /tmp/$ docker build -t my_app . --build-arg ORACLE_RPM="oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip"$ docker run -d -P --shm-size=1g -v db_data:/u01/app/oracle/oradata -v apex_images:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/apex/images -p 1521:1521 -p 8080:8080 my_appThe default list of ENV variables is:
PROCESSES=500
SESSIONS=555
TRANSACTIONS=610
Auto generated passwords are stored in separate hidden files in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/dbconfig/XE with the naming system .username.passwd.
If you want to upgrade to APEX v18.1, you will need to download Oracle Application Express 18.1 - All languages and add apex_18.1.zip to your image. (See usage example above)
The upgrade script will uninstall APEX 4.0.2 from Oracle Database 11g Express Edition. Before continuing, backup all APEX applications.
Next, execute docker-apex-update.sh on the container.
$ docker exec -it my_app docker-apex-update.sh /tmp/apex_18.1.zipSetup a Alpine Oracle REST Data Services container.
