+# oracle26ai-free-vagrant
+
+This Vagrant project provisions Oracle AI Database 26ai Free automatically, using Vagrant, an Oracle Linux 9 box and a shell script. By default, it installs the latest available version of the database software, but it can be configured to install any available version (see [Configuration](#configuration)).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Read the [prerequisites in the top level README](../../README.md#prerequisites) to set up Vagrant with either VirtualBox or KVM.
+
+## Getting started
+
+1. Clone this repository `git clone https://github.com/oracle/vagrant-projects`
+2. Change into the `vagrant-projects/OracleDatabase/26ai-Free` directory
+3. Run `vagrant up`
+   1. The first time you run this it will provision everything and may take a while. Ensure you have a good internet connection as the scripts will update the VM to the latest via `dnf`.
+   2. The installation can be customized, if desired (see [Configuration](#configuration)).
+4. Connect to the database (see [Connecting to Oracle](#connecting-to-oracle))
+5. You can shut down the VM via the usual `vagrant halt` and then start it up again via `vagrant up`
+
+## Connecting to Oracle
+
+The default database connection parameters are:
+
+* Hostname: `localhost`
+* Port: `1521`
+* SID: `FREE`
+* PDB: `FREEPDB1`
+* Database passwords are auto-generated and printed on install
+
+Some of these parameters can be customized, if desired (see [Configuration](#configuration)).
+
+## Resetting password
+
+You can reset the password of the Oracle database accounts (SYS, SYSTEM and PDBADMIN only) by switching to the oracle user (`sudo su - oracle`), then executing `/home/oracle/setPassword.sh <Your new password>`.
+
+## Running scripts after setup
+
+You can have the installer run scripts after setup by putting them in the `userscripts` directory below the directory where you have this file checked out. Any shell (`.sh`) or SQL (`.sql`) scripts you put in the `userscripts` directory will be executed by the installer after the database is set up and started. Only shell and SQL scripts will be executed; all other files will be ignored. These scripts are completely optional.
+
+Shell scripts will be executed as root. SQL scripts will be executed as SYS. SQL scripts will run against the CDB, not the PDB, unless you include an `ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER = FREEPDB1` statement in the script.
+
+To run scripts in a specific order, prefix the file names with a number, e.g., `01_shellscript.sh`, `02_tablespaces.sql`, `03_shellscript2.sh`, etc.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `Vagrantfile` can be used _as-is_, without any additional configuration. However, there are several parameters you can set to tailor the installation to your needs.
+
+### How to configure
+
+There are three ways to set parameters:
+
+1. Update the `Vagrantfile`. This is straightforward; the downside is that you will lose changes when you update this repository.
+2. Use environment variables. It might be difficult to remember the parameters used when the VM was instantiated.
+3. Use the `config.yaml`/`config.local.yaml` files. You can configure your installation by editing the `config.yaml` file, but `config.yaml` will be overwritten on updates, so it's better to make a copy of `config.yaml` called `config.local.yaml`, then make changes in `config.local.yaml`. The `config.local.yaml` file won't be overwritten when you update this repository and it won't mark your Git tree as changed (you won't accidentally commit your local configuration!).
+
+Parameters are considered in the following order (first one wins):
+
+1. Environment variables
+2. `config.local.yaml` (if it exists)
+3. `config.yaml`
+4. `Vagrantfile` definitions
+
+### VM parameters
+
+* `VM_NAME` (default: `oracle26ai-free-vagrant`): VM name.
+* `VM_MEMORY` (default: `2300`): Memory for the VM (in MB, 2300 MB is ~2.25 GB).
+* `VM_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE` (default: host time zone (if possible)): VM time zone.
+  * The system time zone is used by the database for SYSDATE/SYSTIMESTAMP.
+  * The guest time zone will be set to the host time zone when the host time zone is a full hour offset from GMT.
+  * When the host time zone isn't a full hour offset from GMT (e.g., in India and parts of Australia), the guest time zone will be set to UTC.
+  * You can specify a different time zone using a time zone name (e.g., "America/Los_Angeles") or an offset from GMT (e.g., "Etc/GMT-2"). For more information on specifying time zones, see [List of tz database time zones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
+
+### Oracle database parameters
+
+* `VM_DB_VERSION` (default: `latest`): Database version to install. Must be one of the versions listed in the `db_versions.csv` file.
+* `VM_KEEP_DB_INSTALLER` (default: `false`): Save the database installer RPM file for reuse when VM is rebuilt.
+* `VM_ORACLE_CHARACTERSET` (default: `AL32UTF8`): Database character set.
+* `VM_LISTENER_PORT` (default: `1521`): Listener port.
+* `VM_ORACLE_PWD` (default: automatically generated): Oracle database password for the SYS, SYSTEM and PDBADMIN accounts. **Important: Database creation will fail if the password contains spaces or special characters.**
+
+## Optional plugin
+
+When installed, this Vagrant project will make use of the following third party Vagrant plugin:
+
+* [vagrant-proxyconf](https://github.com/tmatilai/vagrant-proxyconf): set
+proxies in the guest VM if you need to access the Internet through a proxy. See
+the plugin documentation for configuration.
+
+To install Vagrant plugins run:
+
+```shell
+vagrant plugin install <name>...
+```
+
+## Other info
+
+* If you need to, you can connect to the virtual machine via `vagrant ssh`.
+* You can `sudo su - oracle` to switch to the oracle user.
+* On the guest OS, the directory `/vagrant` is a shared folder and maps to wherever you have this file checked out.

+Any shell (.sh) or SQL (.sql) scripts you put in this directory
+will be executed by the installer after the database is set up
+and started.  Only shell and SQL scripts will be executed; all
+other files will be ignored.  These scripts are completely
+optional.
+
+Shell scripts will be executed as root.  SQL scripts will be
+executed as SYS.  SQL scripts will run against the CDB, not the
+PDB, unless you include an ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER = FREEPDB1
+statement in the script.
+
+To run scripts in a specific order, prefix the file names with a
+number, e.g., 01_shellscript.sh, 02_tablespaces.sql,
+03_shellscript2.sh, etc.
