embedit/oracle repository overview

⁠Running the database

To run a container use:

docker run --shm-size=256m -it \
    -p 1521:1521 \
    --name db-FOO embedit/oracle /bin/bash

Note that on MS Windows --shm-size needs to be bigger (on Win7 it needs at least 364 MB, but the setting may differ).

This will run a docker container and name it db-FOO.

No database has yet been created. To create a database, run following scripts in the container:

ORACLE_SID=FOO
/home/oracle/run/bin/db-create.sh
/home/oracle/run/bin/db-post-create.sh
/home/oracle/run/bin/db-start.sh

The database creation takes a while, so please be patient.

After the listener has been started you should be able to connect to the database using system/password@localhost:1521/FOO.

⁠More

To start and stop container db-FOO:

docker start db-FOO

docker stop db-FOO

To invoke interactive shell in the running container db-FOO:

docker exec -it db-FOO /bin/bash

⁠Troubleshooting

• DB SID can not contain dashes and other illegal characters - consult Oracle docs for more info.
