This is an Oracle XE 11g based on wnameless/oracle-xe-11g with an extra tablespace .dbf file.
docker run -d -p 1521:1521 whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
By default the extra tablespace's maximum is 16G. You can change it with the param -e maxsize=8G
Example: docker run -d -p 1521:1521 -e maxsize=8G whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
To start an SSH server, create a Dockerfile:
FROM whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
CMD /data/resources/entrypoint.sh && /usr/sbin/sshd -D
Create your image: docker build -t myoracle .
And run: docker run -d -p 1521:1521 -p 2222:22 myoracle
If you don't want a Dockerfile, you can run the container
docker run -d --name oracle123 -p 1521:1521 -p 2222:22 whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
Log in docker exec -it oracle123 /bin/bash
Start the ssh server /usr/sbin/sshd
And exit exit
Now you can reach the SSH server via port 2222. For information on loginname and password see wnameless/oracle-xe-11g.
Mount /data/backup as a volume -v <HostBackupDir>:/data/backup.
Backupfiles will be generated in /data/backup inside the container.
Example: docker run -d --name oracle123 -p 1521:1521 -v /home/me:/data/backup whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
Run docker exec oracle123 /data/resources/orabackup.sh to create the backupfile via the expdp utility in /home/me on the hostcomputer.
If you don't want to create a volume, you can also run docker cp oracle123:/data/backup/ /home/me to copy the backupfile to your hostcomputer.
This is how to import a file, that was created with expdp.
The backupfile has to be in /data/backup/ inside the container.
To import a backupfile put it in the volume (/home/me in the example under "Create a backup") or copy it in /data/backup inside the container with
docker cp /home/me/ORACLE-EXPDAT-2016-09-06_19-42-22.DMP oracle123:/data/backup/
Run the backup restore with
docker exec oracle123 /data/resources/oraimport.sh ORACLE-EXPDAT-2016-09-06_19-42-22.DMP
If you have a backupfile created with exp (and not with expdp) which you want to import, you have to use imp. If you need a backupfile which is created with exp, you need exp.
When you want to work with exp and imp and not expdp and impdp, go into your container with
docker exec -it oracledb /bin/bash.
then you can run exp and imp.
To copy a file from the host to the container or from container to host, use the docker cp command or a mounted volume.
The default password for users sys and system is oracle. To set the password on startup, add -e syspasswd=newpassword to the docker run command.
Example: docker run -d -p 1521:1521 -e syspasswd=newpassword whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
To set a timezone for the container add -e timezone="<your timezone>" to the docker run command.
Example: docker run -d --name oracle123 -p 1521:1521 -e timezone="Europe/Berlin" whiledo/oracle-xe-11g-extra-tablespace
This image is based on wnameless/oracle-xe-11g. You will find more information there.
Add -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true to the docker run command, if you want the database to be connected remotely.
The default settings are
hostname: localhost
port: 1521
sid: xe
username: system
password: oracle
