Database 19.3.0-ee: wrong fixed ORACLE_HOME in dbca?

[rammpeter]

After building the docker image for 19.3.0-ee it is not possible to install database instance by "docker run" because:

• Script $ORACLE_HOME/dbca uses a fixed ORACLE_HOME "/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1"
• the real ORACLE_HOME used in Docker-Image is "/opt/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1"

39 # Define ORACLE_HOME -> OH
40 OH=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
41 PLATFORM=Linux
42 ORACLE_HOME=$OH
43 export ORACLE_HOME;

134 #call platform_common script
135 . $ORACLE_HOME/bin/platform_common

Line 135 in dbca crashes during a "docker run" with /opt/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1/bin/dbca: line 135: /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/bin/platform_common: No such file or directory

This happened if building the docker image on Mac-OS with Docker Engine v 18.09.2. Building the docker image on Linux generates the exact current ORACLE_HOME in dbca in line 40.

Hello, Any thoughts as when this can be fixed? Thanks for help.

[gvenzl]

Hm, I cannot reproduce this:

Could you please share the output of the docker run command and also the output of the build of the image itself? I suspect that something went already wrong during the build and that this is a follow on error.

[Djelibeybi]

Weird. Not sure why your comment didn't remove the tag. Re-opening the issue.

[gutschet]

Any news on this? I experience the same issue as @vadakr with 19.3.0-ee. Cloned the github repository to my local server and build the image with:

./buildDockerImage.sh -v 19.3.0 -e

Build was successful:

Successfully built f657f2ee78be Successfully tagged oracle/database:19.3.0-ee

Oracle Database Docker Image for 'ee' version 19.3.0 is ready to be extended:

--> oracle/database:19.3.0-ee

Build completed in 1373 seconds.

Then I tagged the image for my local registry and pushed it (because I am running in swarm mode):

docker tag oracle/database:19.3.0-ee localhost:5001/oracle/database:19.3.0-ee
docker push localhost:5001/oracle/database:19.3.0-ee

I took the run command from documentation...

docker run --name <container name> \
-p <host port>:1521 -p <host port>:5500 \
-e ORACLE_SID=<your SID> \
-e ORACLE_PDB=<your PDB name> \
-e ORACLE_PWD=<your database passwords> \
-e ORACLE_CHARACTERSET=<your character set> \
-v [<host mount point>:]/opt/oracle/oradata \
oracle/database:19.3.0-ee

... and translated it into a compose-file for my swarm service:

services:
  db1-t:
    image: localhost:5001/oracle/database:19.3.0-ee
    environment:
      - ORACLE_SID=TEST

    driver_opts:

I started it with

docker stack deploy --compose-file /mnt/docker-data/services/db/oracle/db1-t/compose.yml --with-registry-auth db1-t

The startup process takes extremely long (about 15 minutes, may be caused by my nfs mounted filesystem where the volume is located) and shows some errors:

Does someone hav an idea what I am doing wrong? I am wondering about

cp: cannot stat '/opt/oracle/oradata/dbconfig/TEST/oratab': No such file or directory

and about

db1-t_db1-t.1.ci8qdqtke4mn@worker2-p | ORACLE_HOME = [/home/oracle] ? ORACLE_BASE environment variable is not being set since this db1-t_db1-t.1.ci8qdqtke4mn@worker2-p | information is not available for the current user ID .

ORACLE_HOME is set in the image, which i built with the script from github.

Kind regards, looking forward to some feedback

[gutschet]

I finally figured out that my problem was caused by the HEALTHCHECK in the Dockerfile. Because I am running the image as a docker swarm service, the scheduler restarts it, because first healthcheck is executed after 5 minutes. But at this point of time, the creation of the database is not ready and therefor, CheckDBStatus.sh fails and the healthcheck restarts the container, which results in errors because then he tries to start the database which was not created successfully. This will then cause the container to crash.

[elijahgagne]

I'm hitting this issue as well. So it seems I'll need to spin up a Linux VM to build the image, export, and then import it to my Mac if I want to run this on a Mac.

[ecost4]

I don't know if it is the exactly same issue, but I have problems when execute docker run.

[EvilClay]

Hi there, i have the same issue /opt/oracle/checkDBStatus.sh: line 26: sqlplus: command not found

is there a workaround? Thanks

[muhd-zunurain]

Hi everyone,

I have encountered the same issue as well. One thing I noticed is due to lack of memory. I am running docker on Windows 10 with WSL2. After setting the RAM in .wslconfig be 4GB (previously 2GB), the issue was resolved. I hope that helps

[bryan831]

Faced this issue when building on MacOS as well, dealt with it by building on a Linux-based instance

[evoltafreak]

@bryan831 I had the same issue on MacOS. I had to increase memory in the docker preferences. After the change, I had to rebuild the image again. Similar issue that @zunurain222 had to manage on Windows.

[klesiossss]

Hey @bryan831 Indeed it`s just increase the memory in docker preferences, it solved for me as well! Thanks! 😊

[hendisantika]

I am still having that issue.

Is there anyone who already succeed to run oracle 19c docker container?

[elijahgagne]

I got it to work by spinning up a Linux VM to build the image, export it, and then import it to my Mac.

[abhisbyk]

I am unable to reproduce this. @hendisantika Can you pull latest changes and see if you are able to reproduce the error. If the same error persists, please send me the build logs along with container run logs ??

[hendisantika]

Wait.. I'll try it later. I'll let you know @abhisbyk

[eyp]

This is happening to me right now on Ubuntu 22 LTS.

Image & container were built without any error, then...

@eyp is the external volume that you are specifying using -v empty or has pre-existing datafiles?

[eyp]

Ok, it seems it happens when there isn't enough memory. I've changed to another machine with more RAM and now it works fine.

[Delamater]

I bumped the ram up to 8 GB in the .wslconfig and I still get the same message.

Hello, For this issue, you need to set up the volumes for the container

volumes:

Thanks - Rebuilding the image after increasing the memory was key for me on MacOS.
