Oracle Linux developer images

These are developer-oriented images designed to be used as the base image and extended to include application code.

Each of the language and version variants are based off either the oraclelinux:7-slim or oraclelinux:8 base images with as minimal a package set as possible. If your application requires additional modules or packages, they should be installed as part of your downstream Dockerfile.

Change to Oracle Linux 8 images

Originally, the images based on Oracle Linux 8 used the 8-slim variant which required the use of microdnf for package management. The current images are based on an intermediate base image that is based on oraclelinux:8 for full access to dnf to support AppStreams and modularity, but which also has microdnf installed and configured to ensure any existing automation continues to work.

Deprecation of microdnf: Existing users are strongly encouraged to switch from microdnf to dnf as it we intend to remove it from the Oracle Linux Developer images when Oracle Linux 8.5 is released.

Usage of the binary images

All the published Oracle Linux Developer images use publicly available packages from the Oracle Linux yum server. No login, Oracle SSO account or permission is required to build, extend, use or distribute these images.

Oracle Database support

The -oracledb variants include the language-specific driver for connecting to Oracle Database along with the appropriate Oracle Instant Client packages.

Ruby

To install Ruby on Rails, extend one of the images tagged -nodejs and add the following directive to your Dockerfile:

RUN npm install -g yarn && \
    gem install rails

You should then be able to create a new Ruby on Rails application.

• oraclelinux8-php:7.4-fpm

Python modules

Note: Each version of Python is provided as a module for Oracle Linux 8 as opposed to other languages which are provided as a single module with multiple AppStreams.

• oraclelinux8-python:3.6
