Error when trying to run the docker container from 12.1.0.2 image: "Cannot create a container database from non Container Database template."

Hello,

Despite using the general purpose database template, I get following error when trying to run the container:

Has anyone encountered a similar problem before and found a solution?

Hi @StefanSperliDerNeicheWaldvogel, I think the clue to the issue is this line:

Cannot create a container database from non Container Database template.

Hi @gvenzl , thanks for your reply and I assumed as much but couldn't find an answer for it online after googling the error message. I found a question about it in the Oracle forum which wasn't answered. Do you know what I would have to change to make the container run properly?

I attached the template I am using, used as "cust.dbc"

cust.txt
