Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Container

This provides a docker container for Oracle XE 11g.

Usage

Basic Usage

Due to licensing problems we cannot distribute the oracle RPM.

However this doesn't mean the setup process has to be horribly complicated. Simply create a new docker file that extends this docker file, place the zip from oracle with the RPM in a docker_files directory, and build it.

Your Dockerfile will be tiny and look like this:

FROM ukhomeofficedigital/oracle-xe-11g:2.0.2

See /example if you're not sure what I mean.

Volumes

Data is stored to the volume /u01/app/oracle

Customise the database on first run

The container will try to run /init_only.sh before running Oracle XE if there aren't any data files. You can use this script to initialise your database, simply add it in the container you have created which extends this one.

Version Compatibility

This was built for oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0, however with minor tweaks it would probably work for other versions.

Docker tags

We use SemVer for the version tags available See the tags on this repository.

docker-oracle-database-express-edition-11g's Issues

Missing Good Readme

A project is useless without a good readme. See here for a guide: https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/6f1ba788bf70fb501439, and here for an example https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/109311bb0361f32d87a2

Missing a travis ci config

Make life easier for people submitting code to your repository. Make sure that you double check that their code works the best you can (even if that's just running a build of the package) in travis. This way potential contributors can fix bugs before you even need to look at their request. https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/6f1ba788bf70fb501439

Missing contributing.md

Missing a License

Without a license a user cannot use a project as they might be sued! See here for a guide: https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/6f1ba788bf70fb501439, and here for an example https://github.com/nevir/readable-licenses/tree/master/markdown

Missing a CONTRIBUTING file

A contributing file is a place for a user to work out how to contribute to a project, and what coding standards, and things they need to do before submitting code. It is also the place you should include a code of conduct, to make sure people know they can be expected to be treated fairly by the project. https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/6f1ba788bf70fb501439
