Setting Up Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition for ARM (M1/M2 Macs)

Source: https://itnext.io/oracle-on-arm-mac-m1-m2-docker-images-99ed67ed6ba6

Tested with OrbStack on an M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

1. Clone the official Oracle Docker images repository:

   git clone https://github.com/oracle/docker-images

2. Download the Oracle Database 19c aarch64 installer

   Download the installer from Oracle Database 19c and put them into the dockerfiles/19.3.0 folder. The needed file is named LINUX.ARM64_1919000_db_home.zip.

3. Build the 19c Enterprise Edition container

   cd OracleDatabase/SingleInstance/dockerfiles/
   ./buildContainerImage.sh -v 19.3.0 -e

   At the end of this script, you should see the image in your Docker images: oracle/database:19.3.0-ee

4. Check out this fork for the slim fast container

   git clone -b 19c-arm-slim https://github.com/marcelo-ochoa/oci-oracle-free
   cd oci-oracle-free

   Note: Make sure to checkout the 19c-arm-slim branch.

5. Build the slim version

   docker buildx build --build-arg BUILD_MODE=SLIM -t oracle/database:19.3.0-ee-slim -f Dockerfile.193 .

   At the end, you should see this image: oracle/database:19.3.0-ee-slim

6. Finally build slim-faststart version

   docker buildx build --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=oracle/database:19.3.0-ee-slim -t oracle/database:19.3.0-ee-slim-faststart -f Dockerfile.faststart .

   At the end, you should see this image: oracle/database:19.3.0-ee-slim-faststart

7. Use the oracle/database:19.3.0-ee-slim-faststart image in your Docker Compose

are you familiar with this issue when running the item number 3 cd OracleDatabase/SingleInstance/dockerfiles/
./buildContainerImage.sh -v 19.3.0 -e
