Did this get taken off the Docker repos?

Did this get taken off the Docker repos? I'm getting a 404 now, and "docker pull wnameless/oracle-xe-11g" isn't working.

[zawataki]

I am getting the same error. The same error happened on Oct 6, 2017 (see #70).

[zawataki]

@wnameless Do you know how to resolve this error?

[wnameless]

Unfortunately, I received a DMCA Takedown Notice from Docker Hub early today.
For now, I don't have the plan to fire a counter-notice.
I assume that Oracle want people to use their Oracle 18c express docker version instead of other unofficial docker images.

[zawataki]

I understand. Thank you for sharing the reason.

[felixbarny]

That's a pitty. Do you know of alternatives which don't require to buy a license if the image is just used in integration tests?

[lvthillo]

@felixbarny You can build the official docker image from here: https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/master/OracleDatabase/SingleInstance/ (I was able to build and use the XE and the Standard Edition db's without license). The enterprise requires a license of course.

[felixbarny]

Thanks for the tip.

Do I see it right that there is currently no out-of-the-box docker image for Oracle XE that I can just pull from docker hub?

[maludwig]

You can still (at least as long as this repo exists) just clone down this repo and just build it, so I'm back up and running, with:

git clone git@github.com:wnameless/docker-oracle-xe-11g.git
cd docker-oracle-xe-11g
docker build -t wnameless/oracle-xe-11g .
docker run -it --rm -p 1521:1521 wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
echo "SELECT 'VICTORY' as RESULT FROM DUAL;" | sqlplus -S system/oracle@localhost:1521/xe
>
>RESULT
>-------
>VICTORY
>

I assure you this is not the case, that we want you to use Oracle 18c XE instead!
We want people to use any Oracle XE version whichever is most suitable for users.

I'm trying to find out why the DMCA has been issued. Please bare with me.

That is correct, I'm trying to resolve this and have an official Oracle XE image on Docker Hub, however, this is not a technical but legal/business practices discussion. Please bare with us on that as well.

Good luck @gvenzl! We're all on the edge of our seats here.

[gvenzl]

I fully understand!

is there a way to build these images by downloading directly from oracle. it is evident that oracle don't want to support earlier versions. but some people like me are stuck with it.
please point me how to build these images. oracle is only providing virtualbox images or download files.

If I understand you right, that is exactly what this repo is doing, so you can just use it as before; the difference until they can fix it, is that you can't directly pull it from dockerhub, so you will have to clone it and docker build it yourself as @maludwig explained
