Install additional linux packages in a Oracle Database container

[doberkofler]

I would need some additional linux packages in my Oracle Database container and was looking for a simple way to run any custom scripts during the creation of the docker image using buildContainerImage.sh similar to the custom scripts that can be specified when running the image?

@doberkofler You can use the following command to enter inside the container as root user:

docker exec -it -u root <container-name> bash

After this, you can install additional packages using yum.

For running custom scripts at database setup and/or startup, please refer the following link: https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/main/OracleDatabase/SingleInstance#running-scripts-after-setup-and-on-startup. Currently, custom sql/shell scripts are supported.

Closing this issue for now. Please reopen if some additional info is required.
