viktor44/oracle-xe repository overview

⁠Oracle Database XE 18c (18.4.0), 21c (21.3.0)

⁠Environment variables

Environment variables allow you to customize your container. Note that these variables will only be considered during the database initialization (first container startup).

⁠ORACLE_PASSWORD

This variable is mandatory for the first container startup and specifies the password for the Oracle Database SYS and SYSTEM users.

⁠ORACLE_RANDOM_PASSWORD

This is an optional variable. Set this variable to a non-empty value, like yes, to generate a random initial password for the SYS and SYSTEM users. The generated password will be printed to stdout (ORACLE PASSWORD FOR SYS AND SYSTEM: ...).

⁠ORACLE_DATABASE (for 18c and onwards)

This is an optional variable. Set this variable to a non-empty string to create a new pluggable database with the name specified in this variable.
Note: this variable is only supported for Oracle Database XE 18c and onwards; 11g does not support pluggable databases.
Note: creating a new database will add to the initial container startup time. If you do not want that additional startup time, use the already existing XEPDB1 database instead.

⁠APP_USER

This is an optional variable. Set this variable to a non-empty string to create a new database schema user with the name specified in this variable. For 18c and onwards, the user will be created in the default XEPDB1 pluggable database. If ORACLE_DATABASE has been specified, the user will also be created in that pluggable database. This variable requires APP_USER_PASSWORD or APP_USER_PASSWORD_FILE to be specified as well.

⁠APP_USER_PASSWORD

This is an optional variable. Set this variable to a non-empty string to define a password for the database schema user specified by APP_USER. This variable requires APP_USER to be specified as well.
