Oracle XE as virtual app (Docker/Vagrant)

4f4aebe2-4f52-4e7a-8661-4fc07cf550e9Jul 7 2020 — edited Jul 7 2020

Oracle XE can freely be downloaded, but to avoid the hassle of installing the software it would be really nice if there was a simple way to get a working installation in no time.

E.g. if you could do:

vagrant init oracle/xe

vagrant up

and then have a running database version on 192.168.111.111 with a few demo tables and a few demo users.

As a developer it would be even better if you could have multiple versions running in parallel:

vagrant init oracle/xe-18

vagrant up

vagrant init oracle/xe-11

vagrant up

maybe accessible as 10.0.0.18 and 10.0.0.11 respectively. This way it would be easy to test the software against different versions of Oracle.

From a support perspective I think this may also be beneficial: No need to deal with installation issue.

Is anyone working on this?
