⁠Oracle XE - Dockerfile

This repository contains a Dockerfile to create a docker container with Oracle Express Edition 11g Release 2 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty)

This Dockerfile has been published as a trusted build⁠ to the public Docker Registry⁠.

⁠How-To: Build this image

If you want to build this image and use latest Oracle XE version, you will need to download Oracle XE from Oracle site⁠.

Then you will also need to convert download rpm file into deb, using alien tool.

Run following command to convert downloaded rpm package into deb.

sudo alien oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm

I also keep, already downloaded Oracle XE image in GitHub repository, split into 3 pieces, due to GitHub 100MB file limit. Original file is split by running split command and merged back with cat command (Google for how to use both commands).

docker pull alexeiled/docker-oracle-xe-11g
