On April 25, 2019 Oracle Released Database version 19c for Linux and I took the time to build a Docker instance for it.

Below are the procedures I used to create my 19c Docker instance in my MACBOOK. If you need to get Docker installed in your MAC, here is a good reference as of today: https://docs.docker.com/v17.12/docker-for-mac/install

First download file V982063-01.zip from http://edelivery.oracle.com

I used Marcelo Ochoa pre-built dockerfiles and you can download it from below info:

$ git clone https://github.com/marcelo-ochoa/docker-images.git 
$ cd docker-images/OracleDatabase/SingleInstance/dockerfiles/

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mochoa mochoa 5145 feb 15 11:24 buildDockerImage.sh

Place the downloaded file V982063-01.zip inside the 19.2.0

Edit Dockerfile file inside the 19.2.0 folder, modify the parameter INSTALL_FILE_1 to INSTALL_FILE_1=”V982063-01.zip” if it’s not already modified.

Then execute buildDockerImage.sh

  Build completed in 697 seconds.

Feel free to see the image creation full logs here

Once the image is created start it with “run” command:
