Docker-images: oracle/database:18.4.0-xe does not exist

[hantsy]

Defined a docker-compoes.yaml.

# see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-versioning/
version: "3.5" # specify docker-compose version, v3.5 is compatible with docker 17.12.0+

# Define the services/containers to be run
services:
  oracledb:
    image: oracle/database:18.4.0-xe
    environment:
      - "ORACLE_PWD:test@123"
    volumes:
      - ./oradata:/opt/oracle/oradata # persistent oracle database data.
    ports:
      - 1521:1521
      - 8080:8080
      - 5500:5500

And I tried to run docker-compose up oracledb.

Pulling oracledb (oracle/database:18.4.0-xe)...
ERROR: The image for the service you're trying to recreate has been removed. If you continue, volume data could be lost. Consider backing up your data before continuing.

Continue with the new image? [yN]y

In the docker hub, only found the enterprise database there, for writing a demo app, I do not want to download such a huge db.

When building image myself, I got the error like this.

Cannot open: https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/otn_software/db-express/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm. Skipping.
Nothing to do

@hantsy I did not found an image for oracle-xe. I build it by myself: https://hub.docker.com/r/larmic/oracle-xe.

I'm using this image for integration testing. Maybe this will help you.

I would appreciate an official image.

@hantsy, building the image works fine on my end. Do you still have this issue? Can you see whether you can reach that file in your browser?

[hantsy]

@gvenzl I have built it myself successfully.

I have written down a note about this progress: https://github.com/hantsy/devops-sandbox/blob/master/oracle-database-18.4.0-xe.md

But personally, I hope Oracle will push the XE version to the public Docker hub for developers. Adding an ACCEPT_LICENSE env param to the Dockerfile to accept the oracle license like what is done in MS SQLServer.

Thank you @hantsy!

Your feedback is very welcome, I will forward it to the appropriate people!

Thanks,
