docker-oracle-xe-11g

Oracle Express Edition 11g Release 2 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Fork by epiclabs

Credit to all the base work and contributors of wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g !!

Main features of this fork:

• Volume support. Tweaks the configuration so you only have to mount an external empty directory to kick off your database.
• Removed SSH
• Graceful shutdown

Installation(with Ubuntu 16.04)

$ docker pull epiclabs/docker-oracle-xe-11g

Run with port 1521 opened:

$ docker run -d -p 1521:1521 epiclabs/docker-oracle-xe-11g

Volume support:

$ docker run -d -v /var/yourdata:/u01/app/oracle -p 1521:1521 epiclabs/docker-oracle-xe-11g

/var/yourdata is an empty directory which will be initialized as soon as the image runs for the first time. If the directory already contains data produced by a previous instance of this image, then the data is preserved. With this, the container can be thrown away every time.

Run like this, if you want the database to be connected remotely:

$ docker run -d -p 49161:1521 -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true epiclabs/docker-oracle-xe-11g

Connect database with following setting:

hostname: localhost
port: 49161
sid: xe
username: system
password: oracle

Default password for SYS & SYSTEM

oracle
