In this quick-start tutorial, learn how to Docker install Oracle 12c. This guide provides straightforward steps for setting up Oracle 12c in a Docker container, allowing you to leverage the benefits of a virtualized environment for database management. Perfect for those seeking a practical approach to deploying Oracle 12c with Docker.

Requirements

• You need an account on Docker. Create an account here.
• Install or update Docker on your PC

Oracle Database 12c Docker Image

Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 12c is available as an image in the Docker Store.

The following figures show the checkout

Docker install Oracle 12c

How to start an Oracle Database Server instance.

• Docker login
• Pull Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 12.2.0.1
• Run the Docker container from the image

The command line is below

$ docker login
$ docker pull store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1
$ mkdir ~/oracle-db-data
$ chmod 775 ~/oracle-db-data
$ sudo chown 54321:54322  ~/oracle-db-data
$ docker run -d -it --name oracle-db-12c \
-p 1521:1521 \
-e DB_SID=ORADEV \
-e DB_PDB=ORADEVPDB \
-e DB_DOMAIN=oracledb.devopsroles.local \
-v ~/oracle-db-data:/ORCL \
store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1

I created an oracle-db-data directory on the host system for data volume. This data volume is mounted inside the container at /ORCL

• Container name oracle-db-12c
• Host port 1521 and Guest port 1521
• Environment variable:

Set the SID to ORADEV

Set the PDB to ORADEVPDB

Set the DB Domain to oracledb.devopsroles.local

The output terminal is as below:

vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker login

You can check and monitor the container with the command lines below:

$ docker logs -f oracle-db-12c
$ docker ps --format 'table {{.Names}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}' -f name=oracle-db-12c

Oracle Database Setup

The default password to connect to the database with the sys user is Oradoc_db1. Check the character set which should be AL32UTF8

docker exec -it oracle-db-12c bash -c "source /home/oracle/.bashrc; sqlplus /nolog"

SQL> connect sys/Oradoc_db1@ORADEV as sysdba
SQL> alter session set container=ORADEVPDB;
SQL> show parameters db_block_size;
SQL> select value from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';

Create data and temp tablespace

SQL> 
--Create tablespace for new devopsroles Project 
CREATE TABLESPACE huupv_devopsroles_data DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/data/huupv_devopsroles_data.db' SIZE 64M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 32M MAXSIZE 4096M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;
 
--Create temp tablespace for new devopsroles Project
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE huupv_devopsroles_temp TEMPFILE '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/data/huupv_devopsroles_temp.db' SIZE 64M  AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 32M MAXSIZE 4096M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;

• Do not start with too large an initial size, because it can waste space.
• Use a single block size (8K) for the whole DB
• Do not allow individual data files to grow large (beyond 8-10Gb)

Create a user and assign a grant

SQL> 
--Create user for devopsroles schema
CREATE USER huupv_devopsroles IDENTIFIED BY huupv_devopsroles DEFAULT TABLESPACE huupv_devopsroles_data TEMPORARY TABLESPACE huupv_devopsroles_temp PROFILE default ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
 
--Assign grant to user 
GRANT CONNECT TO huupv_devopsroles;
GRANT RESOURCE TO huupv_devopsroles;
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO huupv_devopsroles;

Test the new scheme using a tool such as Oracle SQLDeveloper

The parameters to connect to the new scheme are:

• Username/password: huupv_devopsroles/huupv_devopsroles
• Hostname: 192.168.3.7
• Service Name: ORADEVPDB.oracledb.devopsroles.local

Conclusions

While installing Oracle Database 12c on Docker is not officially supported by Oracle, which only offers Docker images for Database 18c and later, you can still proceed by following the outlined steps in this guide.

Keep in mind that these steps are unofficial and might present certain limitations or compatibility issues. For optimal results and support, consider using the officially provided Oracle Database versions on Docker. I hope will this your helpful. Thank you for reading the DevopsRoles page!

Introduction

In this tutorial, How to use Docker deploy MySQL cluster and connect to the nodes from your local machine. We will be deploying the MySQL server with docker.

To deploy a MySQL cluster using Docker, you can use the MySQL official Docker images and Docker Compose. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• 1 Management node
• 2 Data nodes
• 2 SQL nodes

The nodes in the cluster are running on separate hosts in a network.

First, You have installed docker on your machine.

Docker deploy MySQL cluster

Step 1: Create the docker network.

I will create a network for MySQL cluster with the following docker command.

docker network create cluster --subnet=192.168.4.0/24

Step 2: Get the mysql docker repository

git clone https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker.git
cd mysql-docker
git checkout -b mysql-cluster

I will change the IP address of each node to match the subnet. Open mysql-cluster/8.0/cnf/mysql-cluster.cnf file

For example

[ndbd default]
NoOfReplicas=2
DataMemory=80M
IndexMemory=18M


[ndb_mgmd]
NodeId=1
hostname=192.168.4.2
datadir=/var/lib/mysql

[ndbd]
NodeId=2
hostname=192.168.4.3
datadir=/var/lib/mysql

[ndbd]
NodeId=3
hostname=192.168.4.4
datadir=/var/lib/mysql

[mysqld]
NodeId=4
hostname=192.168.4.10

[mysqld]
NodeId=5
hostname=192.168.4.11

Open mysql-cluster/8.0/cnf/my.cnf and modify as below

[mysqld]
ndbcluster
ndb-connectstring=192.168.4.2
user=mysql

[mysql_cluster]
ndb-connectstring=192.168.4.2

Docker image build

docker build -t <image_name> <Path to docker file>
docker build -t mysql-cluster mysql-cluster/8.0

Step 3: Create the manager node.

docker run -d --net=cluster --name=management1 --ip=192.168.4.2 mysql-cluster ndb_mgmd

Step 4: Create the data nodes

docker run -d --net=cluster --name=ndb1 --ip=192.168.4.3 mysql-cluster ndbd
docker run -d --net=cluster --name=ndb2 --ip=192.168.4.4 mysql-cluster ndbd

Step 5: Create the SQL nodes.

docker run -d --net=cluster --name=mysql1 --ip=192.168.4.10 -e MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true mysql-cluster mysqld
docker run -d --net=cluster --name=mysql2 --ip=192.168.4.11 -e MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true mysql-cluster mysqld
docker run -it --net=cluster mysql-cluster ndb_mgm

The cluster management console will be loaded.

[Entrypoint] MySQL Docker Image 8.0.28-1.2.7-cluster
[Entrypoint] Starting ndb_mgm
-- NDB Cluster -- Management Client --
ndb_mgm>

Run show command

ndb_mgm> show
Connected to Management Server at: 192.168.4.2:1186
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)]     2 node(s)
id=2    @192.168.4.3  (mysql-8.0.28 ndb-8.0.28, Nodegroup: 0, *)
id=3    @192.168.4.4  (mysql-8.0.28 ndb-8.0.28, Nodegroup: 0)

[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=1    @192.168.4.2  (mysql-8.0.28 ndb-8.0.28)

[mysqld(API)]   2 node(s)
id=4    @192.168.4.10  (mysql-8.0.28 ndb-8.0.28)
id=5    @192.168.4.11  (mysql-8.0.28 ndb-8.0.28)

ndb_mgm>

Step 7. Change the default passwords.

MySQL node 1:

The SQL nodes are created initially, with a random password. Get the default password.

docker logs mysql1 2>&1 | grep PASSWORD

To change the password, first, Input the password default at Step 7

docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

MySQL node 2:

The SQL nodes are created initially, with a random password. Get the default password.

docker logs mysql2 2>&1 | grep PASSWORD

To change the password, first, Input the password default at Step 7

docker exec -it mysql2 mysql -uroot -p
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 8: Login and create a new database.

For example, I will create huupv an account on mysql1 and mysql2 containers and access any hosts.

# For mysql1
docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p
CREATE USER 'huupv'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123456789';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'huupv'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

# For mysql2
docker exec -it mysql2 mysql -uroot -p
CREATE USER 'huupv'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123456789';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'huupv'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Create new a database.

create schema test_db;

The output terminal is as below:

vagrant@devopsroles:~/mysql-docker$ docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

Introduction

In this blog, we will explore various methods of data sharing in Docker containers and how they can be effectively used in your projects. Now, let go Docker Containers Share Data.

Docker containers can share data using various mechanisms provided by Docker. Here are a few ways to share data between Docker containers.

I will deploy 2 containers using docker to share data between containers.

Prerequisites

• Host OS: Ubuntu 21.04
• Installed Docker

Create a Volume for Docker containers share data

Volumes are a fundamental feature in Docker that enable data persistence and sharing between containers and the host system.

When you create a volume, it acts as a dedicated storage location that can be mounted into one or more containers. The data stored in a volume persists even if the container using it is removed.

We will create a Volume to save our data as command below:

docker volume create --name persistent-data-devops

The volume is created in the /var/lib/docker/volumes directory.

vagrant@devopsroles:~$ sudo ls /var/lib/docker/volumes/persistent-data-devops/_data/test.txt
/var/lib/docker/volumes/persistent-data-devops/_data/test.txt

For example, We will deploy the first container which will use the persistent volume.

docker run -it --name=container1 -v persistent-data-devops:/data ubuntu:latest

• The container named: container1
• mount the persistent-data-devops volume into the /data directory within the new container

Login new container and create a new file

echo "Hello, www.devopsroles.com" >> /data/test.txt

We’ll now deploy a second container as command below

docker run -it --name=container2 -v persistent-data-devops:/data ubuntu:latest

Login second container and display content

cat /data/test.txt

Edit /data/test.txt file. I use the vim command line.

Add the following at the bottom of the file:

This data share between containers 1 and 2

The output terminal as below

vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker run -it --name=container2 -v persistent-data-devops:/data ubuntu:latest

root@ed16b6be95f8:/# cat /data/test.txt
Hello, www.devopsroles.com

root@ed16b6be95f8:/# vim /data/test.txt
root@ed16b6be95f8:/# cat /data/test.txt
Hello, www.devopsroles.com
This data share between containers 1 and 2

Exit the running container with the exit command. You can stop and remove them with the commands:

docker stop ID
docker rm ID

After stopping and removing docker container1, we will deploy again, But data will remain data.

Youtube: Docker Containers Share Data

Conclusion

You have to Docker Containers Share Data. These are some of the common methods to share data between Docker containers. Choose the one that best suits your requirements based on the nature of the data and the use case you have in mind.

Data sharing is a crucial aspect of Docker containerization. By utilizing volumes, bind mounts, named volumes, Docker Compose, and Docker networks, you can effectively share data between containers and the host system. I hope will this your helpful. Thank you for reading the DevopsRoles page!

In this tutorial, How to use Docker deploy MySQL and phpMyAdmin.

Docker is a software platform designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers.

MySQL Database Service is a fully managed database service to deploy cloud-native applications. Quota from MySQL.

Prerequisites Docker deploy MySQL and phpMyAdmin

• Host OS: Ubuntu 21.04
• Installed Docker

Deploy the MySQL Database

First I will create a volume for MySQL to remain persistent. I will create a volume name is mysql-volume with the command below:

docker volume create mysql-volume

The output terminal is as below:

vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker volume create mysql-volume
mysql-volume
vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker volume ls

Deploy the phpMyAdmin Container

I will deploy the phpMyAdmin Container. Create a volume for phpMyAdmin with the command line as below

docker volume create phpmyadmin-volume

The output terminal is as below:

vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker volume create phpmyadmin-volume
phpmyadmin-volume
vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker volume ls | grep phpmyadmin-volume
local     phpmyadmin-volume

deploy the phpMyAdmin container with the command:

docker run --name devops-phpmyadmin -v phpmyadmin-volume:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.usr.inc.php --link devops_mysql:db -p 82:80 -d phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin

The output terminal is as below:

vagrant@devopsroles:~$ docker run --name devops-phpmyadmin -v phpmyadmin-volume:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.usr.inc.php --link devops_mysql:db -p 82:80 -d phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin

vagrant@devopsroles:~$

The explanation of the above command

• Deploying a container named devops-phpmyadmin
• Linking to devops_mysql database
• external port is 82
• Internal port is 80
• running the container in daemon mode (with the -d option)

How to Access phpMyAdmin

Open a web browser and point it to http://SERVER:82

Log in with the username root and the password you used when you deployed the MySQL container.

For example, the username is root and the Password is 123abc@

Can not access MySQL docker as the picture below

How to fix it

docker exec -it devops_mysql mysql -u root -p
update mysql.user set host='%' where user='root' and host = 'localhost';
flush privileges;

The result, Login access to phpMyAdmin

How to access MySQL and phpMyAdmin containers

docker exec -it devops_mysql /bin/bash
docker exec -it devops-phpmyadmin /bin/bash

Docker has become a popular choice for deploying applications due to its ease of use, scalability, and portability. If you’re looking to start a blog using Ghost, a powerful and flexible open-source blogging platform, using Docker can simplify the deployment process.

We will use Docker to quickly Ghost blog. First, we have installed Docker and Docker Compose on your host.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your server or local machine.

• Host OS: Ubuntu 21.04
• Installed Docker
• Installed Docker compose

Deploy a Ghost Container

We will start a basic Ghost site with the docker command as below:

docker run -d -p 2368:2368 --name simple-ghost ghost:4

Ghost the default port is 2368. We will view the site via http://localhost:2368 or http://localhost:2368/ghost to access the Ghost admin panel.

We will first run settings to finalize your Ghost installation and create an initial user account.

This approach is if we just trying out Ghost. However, we have not set up persistent storage yet so your data will be lost when the container stops.

We will use uses Docker Compose to set up Ghost with a Docker volume. Mount a volume to the /var/lib/ghost/content directory to store Ghost’s data outside the container.

Example docker-compose.yml file

version: "3"
services:
  ghost:
    image: ghost:4
    ports:
      - 8080:2368
    environment:
      url: https://ghost.devopsroles.com
    volumes:
      - ghost:/var/lib/ghost/content
    restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
  ghost:

Now use Compose to bring up your site:

docker-compose up -d

External Database

Ghost defaults to using an SQLite database that’s stored as a file in your site’s content directory.

services:
  ghost:
    # ...
    environment:
      database__client: mysql
      database__connection__host: ghost_mysql
      database__connection__user: root
      database__connection__password: databasePw
      database__connection__database: ghost

  ghost_mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    expose:
      - 3306
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: ghost
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: databasePw
    volumes:
      - mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  mysql:

Summary Ghost blog docker-compose

version: "3"
services:
  ghost:
    image: ghost:4
    ports:
      - 8080:2368
    environment:
      url: https://ghost.devopsroles.com
    volumes:
      - ghost:/var/lib/ghost/content
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      database__client: mysql
      database__connection__host: ghost_mysql
      database__connection__user: root
      database__connection__password: databasePw
      database__connection__database: ghost

  ghost_mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    expose:
      - 3306
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: ghost
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: databasePw
    volumes:
      - mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
  ghost:
  mysql:

Proxying Traffic to Your Container

Add NGINX to your host:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

# Allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic through the firewall
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443

Define an NGINX host for your site in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ghost.devopsroles.com

server {
    
    server_name ghost.devopsroles.com;
    index index.html;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/ghost_access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/ghost_error.log error;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Original-IP $remote_addr;
    }

}

Create symbolic link

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/ghost.devopsroles.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghost.devopsroles.com

Restart Nginx service

sudo systemctl restart nginx

The result is Deploy cms Ghost Blog with docker Nginx
