Check the logs


[root@instance-20240128-1525 opc]# docker logs oracle-db

From the log, we can after few mins, we can see a message like below.


The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /opt/oracle

Now, go inside the docker container.


[root@instance-20240128-1525 opc]# docker ps -a

how to connect to the db using sqldeveloper


sqldeveloper connection



Hostname is the public IP of the VM where the container is running.


This completes the step by step instructions on how we can install Oracle DB inside a docker container and subsequently connect to the DB using sqldeveloper client. I hope, this post will help someone. 

Till then, start learning cloud.
