Last week I posted a screenshot on Twitter of the new Oracle APEX 21.1 running in my docker environment on Ubuntu Linux. I was asked to give a futher view of installing the new version. Here it comes right now. 😀

To make things easier I searched the internet for a template of a docker project and I found the git repository from fuzzlebrain fuzziebrain/docker-apex-stack: Utility scripts for creating an Oracle Application Express stack as a Docker container. (github.com).

In general the process clones the official Oracle docker images and installs the needed software that is configured in a configuration file.

Prerequisites of software packages needed for this docker image:     Install the following things in your host:

Step 2 is getting the required the installation files and placing them in the subfolder <files> of the downloaded repository

You can even try to build your docker images with different versions of ORDS or APEX.  After executing the first step for several times I changed the first script 01-build.sh a little bit and removed the line where the official docker images are pulled. Why ? Because they are placed in the folder dockerfiles after the first run and pulled every time the build process is started. A little bit too much downloads…
