If you want to use Oracle database in a Docker container, you’ll need an image file. Other database vendors have images on the Docker Hub website, but recently Oracle have removed their image and added it to their own container registry.

In this video, you’ll learn how to use the image in Oracle’s container registry. You’ll see how to download and install Docker, how to find the Oracle database image, how to download the image and run it on the command line, and how to connect to the database image using SQL Developer.

If you’re on an M1 Mac, then unfortunately this image won’t work, as it’s not built to be compatible with these newer CPUs. If you want to get Oracle running on your M1 Mac, the only way I know how at the moment is to use Oracle’s Free Cloud service. I’ve got a tutorial video on how to set that up here:    • How to Set Up an Oracle Free Cloud Databas...
