A Docker image with Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 running in Oracle Linux 7
- Default ORCL database on port 1521
- Install Docker
$ docker pull wscherphof/oracle-12c- That worked once, but the image was removed by Docker Support on Oracle's request, so you'll need to build it yourself
Create and run a container named orcl:
$ docker run --privileged -dP --name orcl wscherphof/oracle-12c
989f1b41b1f00c53576ab85e773b60f2458a75c108c12d4ac3d70be4e801b563
Yes, alas, this has to run privileged in order to gain permission for the mount statement in /tmp/start that ups the amount of shared memory, which has a hard value of 64M in Docker; see this GitHub issue
The default password for the sys user is change_on_install, and for system it's manager
The ORCL database port 1521 is bound to the Docker host through run -P. To find the host's port:
$ docker port orcl 1521
0.0.0.0:49189
So from the host, you can connect with system/manager@localhost:49189/orcl
Though if using Boot2Docker, you need the actual ip address instead of localhost:
$ boot2docker ip
The VM's Host only interface IP address is: 192.168.59.103
If you're looking for a databse client, consider sqlplus
$ sqlplus system/manager@192.168.59.103:49189/orcl

The container runs a process that starts up the database, and then continues to check each minute if the database is still running, and start it if it's not. To see the output of that process:
$ docker logs orcl
