moodle-db-oracle: Oracle XE/Free for Moodle

An Oracle XE/Free instance configured for Moodle development based on wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g (Oracle 11g), gvenzl/oci-oracle-xe (Oracle 21c) and gvenzl/oci-oracle-free (Oracle 23c).

Example usage

Note these images are not intended for production use, only for development and testing/ci.

docker run --name db0 -p 1521:1521 moodlehq/moodle-db-oracle-r2:TAG

Where :TAG can be:

• :latest, :21 (or none) : Oracle 21c (XE or XEPDB1 databases) will be used.
• :11 : Oracle 11g (XE database) will be used.
• :23 : Oracle 23c (FREE or FREEPDB1 databases) will be used.

In all cases, the DB user (moodle) and password (m@0dl3ing) are fixed.

Building locally

If there is any future problem with this public image (like it happened before, see MDLSITE-5669), or if you want to build the image locally for any further improvement, you can use:

> git clone https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-db-oracle.git
> git checkout [11g|21c|23c|main]
> cd moodle-db-oracle
> docker build . --tag moodlehq/moodle-db-oracle-r2:[11|21|23|latest]

This will create the local image moodlehq/moodle-db-oracle-r2 which then can be used in docker run commands or by moodle-docker testing tools.

Features:

• Oracle CDB database setup and preconfigured with empty database (XE or FREE), user (moodle) and moodlelib package installed (ready for Moodle install).
• Only 21c and up: Oracle PDB database setup and preconfigured with empty database (XEPDB1 or FREEPDB1), user (moodle) and moodlelib package installed (ready for Moodle install).
• Backed by automated tests.
