How to install Oracle 18c and Docker on Ubuntu 20

First Step: installing docker on ubuntu

  • Update your existing package list: $ sudo apt update
  • Next, install some prerequisite packages that allow apt to use packages over HTTPS: $ sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
  • Then, add the GPG key for the official Docker repository on your system: $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  • Add the Docker repository to the APT feeds: $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
  • Next, update the database package with the Docker packages from the newly added repository: $ sudo apt update
  • Make sure you're about to install from the Docker repository instead of the default Ubuntu repository: $ apt-cache policy docker-ce While the Docker version number may be different, you will see an output like this img2
  • Finally, install Docker: $ sudo apt install docker-ce
  • Check that it works: $ sudo systemctl status docker the output will show that the service is active and running :)

Second Step: installing oracle 18c on docker

  • First extract the image from the docker repository: $ sudo docker pull dockerhelp/docker-oracle-ee-18c
  • We run the Oracle 18c image and assign a port where it is going to communicate: $ sudo docker run -p 7000:7000 -it dockerhelp/docker-oracle-ee-18c bash
  • We run the installation file sh: $ sh post_install.sh
  • We proceed to connect to the database, always inside the container: $ sqlplus
  • The user who creates us by default is the following: USER: sys as sysdba PASS: oracle
  • We enter and create a test user SQL> alter session set "_ORACLE_SCRIPT"=true; Session altered. SQL> create user TEST identified by 1234; User created. SQL> grant dba to TEST;

The IP of the container can be found out by exiting the container (without turning it off) with
the key combination ctrl + p and then ctrl + q and running the following commands.

  • To display all containers that are active. In turn we will display the container id: sudo docker ps
  • The following command is used to get the ip of the container: sudo docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' [CONTAINER_ID] where "CONTAINER_ID" is the id generated in the previous step.

Third Step: start an existing container in docker

  • The following commands are run to start the server: sudo docker start aqui_tu_id_del_contenedor sudo docker exec -it aqui_tu_id_del_contenedor bash where "aqui_tu_id_del_contenedor" is the id of the container to start
  • In the case of oracle 18c, the following commands are executed for sign in: sh post_install.sh sqlplus img3 so we finish the instalation, i hope i helped you :)
