Oracle Database 23c is currently only available on OCI Base Database Service, but that doesn’t mean you need to wait to run in locally!
Do you run Docker on Linux? Do you use a custom directory instead of /var/lib/docker
? Did Docker recently stop working? If so, you may have configured your docker.service configuration file with an obsolete parameter. Fortunately, it’s an easy fix! Read on for more!
Several blog posts describe how to authenticate with My Oracle Support and download patches. Unfortunately, some rely on manual authentication with MOS on one host to generate the cookie file, then copy the cookie to the automation machine. I needed a fully-automated solution that used curl.
This is the second in a multi-part series on building Docker images for Oracle 19c. In the first installment I demonstrated a Dockerfile for building images using the Oracle 19c RPM and applying Release Updates (RU) to the new home. In this post I describe the remaining steps necessary for running Docker images using the RPM-based installation.
The first in a multi-part series on building Docker images for Oracle 19c using the 19c RPM. Part 1 shows the Dockerfile used to create an Oracle 19c database via RPM install, update OPatch and apply the 19.8 Release Update (RU) to the Oracle Home. Part 2 covers the remaining components of the Docker build. Part 3 describes how to take multiple images and merge them to create containers with an older 11g or 12c Oracle home and database running alongside a 19c home, ready for testing and practicing your Oracle 19c upgrades!
