wnameless / docker-oracle-xe-11g Goto Github PK

The password_life_time is currently set to 180 which results in SYSTEM and custom users being locked out after 180 days. PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION=NULL doesn't seem to be enough if PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME is set to 180.

The workaround is to execute the following queries at the beginning of the init script, before any other users are created. It would be nice to have this address on the image level. Thank you!

alter profile DEFAULT limit password_life_time UNLIMITED;
alter user SYSTEM identified by oracle account unlock;

I am using https://github.com/rhuss/docker-maven-plugin to run some integration tests and it would be fantastic if I could wait on a log message from the container indicating when the Listener is available for connections.

Hi,
since the new commit, the container doesn't start anymore. Is there a known issue with it ?

Thanks

It is not an issue, but rather a question. and if you can remotely access, which would have to configure?

since the commit: feadff2 I have a problem, that script that I used for DB initialization propagated to container via volume now causes volume failure on startup.

my docker-compose chunk:

version: "3.0"

services:   

oracle:
	image: wnameless/oracle-xe-11g:latest
	ports:
  	- "1522:1521"
  	- "8081:8080"
	volumes:
  	- ./script/docker/oracle/create_user.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/create_user.sql

running docker-compose up results in:

oracle_1    | mv: cannot move '/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/create_user.sql' to '/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d.bak/create_user.sql': Device or resource busy    
[secure]_oracle_1 exited with code 1

(full log: https://travis-ci.org/p6spy/p6spy/jobs/268948826 )

What would be the proper way to propagate the script to container? Obviously volume I used to use before is not working any more.

Honestly I don't consider modifying (in the particular case: moving to another location) init scripts a good idea, other DBs don't do that, as far as I can see:

• mysql: https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/blob/master/5.6/docker-entrypoint.sh#L170
• postgres: https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/blob/master/10/docker-entrypoint.sh#L126

would you mind rolling back to original behaviour?

What was the motivation behind this change? Am I now forced to build new container (FROM wnameless/oracle-xe-11g ... ADD ./script/docker/oracle/create_user.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ ) to support the init script functionality?

I stop and start Docker container and I see that all of my Oracle DB data is wiped out. Why ?
I see that someone has posted to run like this:
docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true -v /local_path/to/oracle_home:/u01/app/oracle wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
When i try above option for mounting the volume to host machine I get following error:

cp: cannot stat '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/network/admin/listener.ora.tmpl': No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/startup.sh: line 19: sqlplus: command not found

First of all thanks for image.
I want to use it in my integration tests on travis-ci in my project
But I cannot connect to database due
ORA-12528, TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections

I try to wait 10 min after image starts and then restart oracle listener, but with no luck.

Sample build with error
with the sample travis.yml

This image used to work fine. A couple of days ago the init script for our database started throwing errors/warnings because the system user's password is about to expire in 7 (today, 22.08.2017) days.

We worked around this by connecting as "sys as sysdba" and unlocking the system account.

Can the image be rebuilt with a non-expiring system account?

Hi,

I just tried to use this oracle image but I am getting the following error for any command that I issue.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

Following are the steps I did:

docker pull wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g
docker run -d --name oracledb -p 41960:22 -p 49161:1521 wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
ssh root@localhost -p 41960

On providing the password, it logs in and then to the SQL prompt as well but can't do anything since then. The screen also shows Connected to an idle instance.!
Could someone help me out with this immediately?

Thanks very much!

I run this docker in a Azure VM and now I want to access from my personal computer (Not from azure VM) with node-oracledb.

I replace this:

hostname: localhost
port: 49161
sid: xe
username: system
password: oracle

To this:

{
    "user":  "system",
    "password": "oracle",
    "connectString": "//myIP:49161/xe" 
}

Replacing myIP to my Azure Virtual IP

But not work... Any suggestions? Thank you very much! 😊

password admin not work

Hello, thanks for your help.

I'm using your image with docker compose, to connect my PHP(laravel 5) application to this image.

I use these configurations

        'oracle' => array(
            'driver' => "oracle",
            'host' => "127.0.0.1",
            'port' => "1521",
            'username' => 'system',
            'password' => 'oracle',
            'charset' => 'AL32UTF8',
            'prefix' => '',
            'tns' => '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=xe)))',
            'service_name' => 'xe',
        )

I keep getting error messages:

Oci8Exception in Oci8.php line 454: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

Even though I am able to connect using Navicat and Toad for Oracle.

Any ideas ?

The current image violates the Oracle 11g Express license which prevents me from using your work.

Can you please create a second Dockerfile which contains the commands necessary to convert the RPM into the split DEB archive (which I can then copy out to replace the files you provide) or, even better, a Dockerfile which installs from the downloaded RPM (i.e. which contains the commands to convert the RPM to DEB, installs and then deletes the RPM and DEP archives).

I can no longer connect to the DB after running this docker image on my mac. It used to work fine

docker pull wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true wnameless/oracle-xe-11g

Cannot connect using the below
hostname: localhost
port: 49161

Any idea? Thanks.

I have the same problem at here: #50
I have tried your two version :16/14,both failed for the same reason.
how can I fix it?

Thanks for providing useful Dockerfile to run Oracle XE 11g. Oracle enhanced adapter unit tests at Travis CI rely on this Dockerfile.

This is not an issue but wanted to inform my experience. Recently Travis CI Ubuntu is migrating from Ubuntu Precise (12.04) to Ubuntu Trusty(14.04) then Oracle enhanced adapter unit tests elapsed time is getting slower.

• CI on Travis getting slower on Trusty

I opened a support request with Travis CI and finally this slowness has been resolved by setting disk_asynch_io = false

• Setting disk_asynch_io to false to address slow unit tests

Here are elapsed time differences between these settings/OS version.

• Trusty + disk_asynch_io = false

CRuby about 4 min
JRuby about 7 min

• Trusty + disk_async_io = true

CRuby about 8 min
JRuby about 26 min

• Precise + disk_asynch_io = true

CRuby about 4 min
JRuby about 10 min

please feel free to close this issue since I just wanted to inform this parameter change.
Thanks.

First of all, thank you for your job!

I created a virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04 x64, I installed docker and then I ran:

docker pull wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true wnameless/oracle-xe-11g

I could do sqlplus system/oracle without any problem.

Today I tried the same in another fresh virtual machine and I did the same, but every time I do sqlplus system/oracle I see:

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Fri Dec 2 19:57:58 2016

What I'm missing?

It takes a while for the db to be ready for a connection, so when I start my stack with docker-compose, my client app breaks. I have set my client app to check and wait for the tcp listener, but it takes awhile longer for the database to actually be ready. What is a successful pattern of using wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g in a stack?

Hi,

I have an automated exported SQL script I use to initialize the database. My expectation is this init script to be executed only once, for initialization purpose. Now they are executed every time I start the container.

As a reference, please have a look to official MySQL docker image to see how it only executes the init scripts if the database is not initialized:

https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/blob/master/8.0/docker-entrypoint.sh

You can see:
if [ ! -d "$DATADIR/mysql" ]; then
...
for f in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/*; do
case "$f" in
*.sh) echo "$0: running $f"; . "$f" ;;
*.sql) echo "$0: running $f"; "${mysql[@]}" < "$f"; echo ;;
*.sql.gz) echo "$0: running $f"; gunzip -c "$f" | "${mysql[@]}"; echo ;;
*) echo "$0: ignoring $f" ;;
esac
echo
done
...
fi

I'm using this commannd to start the oracle docker in an amazon ec2:
docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true wnameless/oracle-xe-11g

But when i try to connect it in my develop machine sql developer, it says the listener does not currently know the SID xe.

I read about it happening when you try to connect from remote but i'm using the ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE X.X

anyone knows what can i do?

Hi,
This is not an issue per say rather a question
Can you help with logging into Apex web console? I have tried sys/oracle and system/oracle but both won't work.

Thanks,
Shoaib

Something I confuse is that when I change little things(for example, add a new user) in conteneur Oracle, then I commit this conteneur, why everytime it add 2 Gb into image? How can I avoid this ?
Thank you

Is it possible to log to stdout?
This will make it easy to see the logs using docker log <container>.

It would also be nice to be able to change the loglevel via environment variable.

Since the last update, we have discovered that the startup of the container the first time takes several minutes, compared to starting later on which takes seconds. This have been tested on newly started, clean amazon instances.

Commands run:

docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
docker exec -it <name> bash

When trying to access the db with

sqlplus system/oracle

Anyone has some suggestion?

Everything works except a minor issue that I was kept asked to input xdb password when login to http://.8080.
This is fixed by following http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=370684 as below. It can be resolved in the image.
ALTER USER XDB ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

hi team, i use this image to run a oracle container on centos 7, but when i run this, these error throw out, what mistake i made ?

If I execute

docker exec -it <name_of_running_container> bash

then I will have a shell on the running container.

So, I don't see a need for ssh on this container and in general it is best to keep things as clean as possible and with as few running processes as possible.

Just a suggestion that you can likely remove SSH from this image.

Hi,

when running a wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g container using docker-compose with a configured link to another container, you got more than one interface.
The listener listens to the docker interface of the host, but I expected that it listens to the docker-compose interface.
Example:
docker interface: eth1
IP: 172.18.0.4
docker-compose interface: eth2
IP: 10.0.0.5

/etc/hosts is also configured to use the eth2 IP:
10.0.0.5 f4c4a3638c11

hostname resolves into eth2 IP. The linked docker-compose container reaches the wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g container through the eth2 IP address as well.

Default listener:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = f4c4a3638c11)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

A fix could be an environment variable that sets a specific interface or using the configured IP address in /etc/hosts instead of the hostname.

If you need more information please have a look at this link or just ask:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46254132/jdbc-connection-between-docker-containers-docker-compose

It must depend on the container name when building the image.
I spent some time understanding it when using sqlplus commands :-)

A workaround would be to add this host to /etc/hosts when building.
Adding in a RUN :

echo -e "\n$(hostname)  127.0.0.1" >> /etc/hosts

Not sure it's the only file referencing the container hostname.

Hi, may I suggest to add the following line to the dockerfile to disable DNS reverse lookup at SSH login time?

echo "UseDNS no" >> /etch/ssh/sshd_config

I have just used the docker file to create a new container.
Once done and the docker run command issued I accessed the container via the docker exec -it {containerId} bash only to find that oracle was not running. After much searching I discovered that the install had installed oracle to this path:
/u01/app/oracle/oracle-product rather than where I expected it to be eg: /u01/app/oracle/product.

I modified the setup.sh script and moved all of the lines under:

dpkg --install /home/assets/oracle-xe_11.2.0-1.0_amd64.deb &&

and moved them to the top of the startup.sh script and added as the first command line:
mv /u01/app/oracle/oracle-product /u01/app/oracle/product

This fixed the problem and oracle now starts.

I am just curious as to why the installer installed to .../oracle/oracle-product rather than .../oracle/product

Hello,
may someone please tell me why I get very different environment variables values in the following cases:

1. docker exec -it reteyel_oracle env
2. docker exec -it reteyel_oracle bash -c "env"
3. launching the bash on the container with "docker exec -it reteyel_oracle bash" and then launching "env" from the shell
   ?
   I'd expect to have the same environment in the three but it is very different indeed...

The same does not happen with other docker images.
Do someone know why?

Would you care to elaborate what's inside wnameless/xe-temp?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I am currently trying to use that docker image with a jpa project.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/apps-tech/jdbc-112010-090769.html

Can you please tell me which exact version you have installed on that image?
Normally the newest ojdbc6.jar should work but I have some crazy problems using any of those ojdbc with that docker image - but I am fine connecting to the db with sqldeveloper so I am a bit confused.

Thanks for any hints.

After I have started the docker instance and ssh in I try to follow these commands:

shutdown immediate;
startup mount;

I get a
RMAN-03002: failure of startup command at 09/27/2016 19:14:14
RMAN-06171: not connected to target database

examples such as this one seem to do this fine.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6946586/database-not-open

The goal is to create a backup of our oracledb for testing purposes, but we need to close the database, backup, and remount the database in order to do this. Currently all we've been able to do is shutdown the database, and restart the docker instance to get it back up.

Please help us with creating a backup file.

Not sure if something could be done, but when trying to explicitely connect to XE from docker itself I got ORA-12545 Connect failed because target host or object does not exist.
Checking with LSNRCTL I found the following

LSNRCTL> status XE
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=33817b96c0aa)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=XE)))
TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
   Linux Error: 110: Connection timed out

I can see docker is giving me a different hostname: (d57f5951434b), so updating the file solved this. I don't know if this could or should be achieved programatically in the startup.sh

Im running elementary OS 0.3.2 64 bits (Ubuntu 14.04) with 14.04 xe image and custom DNS in the run parameters.

Hi,

after I lunch the container with 2 sql files to initialize the db I get the following errors:

Starting Oracle Net Listener.

I start it with:

docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 oracle

And I create oracle from this Dockerfile

FROM wnameless/oracle-xe-11g

# Initialise with testing data
ADD database_creation.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/1-create-tables.sql
ADD alerts.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/1-insert-alerts.sql

Is it possible to change the sys/system password? In order to give different privileges.

Would it make sense to delete SQL scripts added to docker-entrypoint-initdb.d after executing them? That way they will not be executed twice when the same container is stopped and stared again.

Update :
My host is CentOS 7.0 64bit.
The image runs on Ubuntu. I think the issue is the difference of distrib.

Do exactly what the doc. says, ie connecting to the container with ssh, then within :
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba
startup
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
startup mount
ORA-24324: service handle not initialized

In log I can see that
Exception [type: SIGSEGV, Address not mapped to object]

i tried adding init.sql into docker, but it is not doing anything.

i tried creating users in that sql file, is it possible ?

my docker file is

# Dockerfile
FROM wnameless/oracle-xe-11g

ADD init.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

and my init.sql file is
