aarch64 Docker image for Oracle Database 19c

[stevefan1999-personal]

According to https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/oracle19c-linux-arm64-downloads.html, we should be able to run 19c on aarch64 now, especially combined with Ampere A1 instances.

Hi I could successfully build a docker container on MacOS (M1) with an Oracle Linux 8.8 base image using my own Oracle Docker scripts. The times for building the container and starting/creating the database did look reasonable. I haven't looked at the performance yet. However, an Oracle 19c (aarch64) is now running on my MacBook Pro (M1) 😎.

I assume that it is not an issue to build an Oracle 19c (aarch64) for Ampere A1 instances.

We'll raise a PR to support this soon.

Hello Stefan,
Would you mind sharing the steps to your successful installation?
I pulled an image from GitHub but it fails to build.

Thanks

I don't have it. It was originally for my test pipeline. I think I manually installed the RPMs as a service in the end. But I do think we could just use docker pull and docker run for this now,

Hi I’ll do as soon as I find time this week. Currently busy with project deadlines 🤪. I did not use the rpm. Just the plain software similar as I did for my x86 images. Regards Stefan

I have a repo with options for building images on ARM/x86 here, plus documentation, if that helps: https://github.com/oraclesean/cloud-native-oracle

thank you Stefan. I will check it out.

Thanks but that's more to @oraclesean credit 😊
