Building Oracle XE docker image in Windows 10 Pro I'm trying to install Oracle XE 18c in a docker container in Windows 10. I have docker already installed, and I need to build the image as explained here.

I cloned the git repository, but I'm stuck on this step, as what I cloned are Linux commands and not Windows.

After cloning with:

git clone https://github.com/oracle/docker-images.git


If I cd to docker-images\OracleDatabase\SingleInstance\dockerfiles\18.4.0 to build the image I see the following sh comands, instead of exe or bat:

12/28/2019  01:36 PM             1,137 checkDBStatus.sh
12/28/2019  01:36 PM               905 checkSpace.sh
12/28/2019  01:36 PM                75 Checksum.xe
12/28/2019  01:36 PM             2,752 Dockerfile.xe
12/28/2019  01:36 PM               533 oracle-xe-18c.conf
12/28/2019  01:36 PM             6,132 runOracle.sh
12/28/2019  01:36 PM               775 setPassword.sh


How to build this image in Windows?
Use Wsl Ubuntu Bash set path to Docker executables or simply install Git Bash for Windows from Docker Tools and run the shell script from Git Bash terminal(I prefer Git Bash).Download and Copy Oracle18xe rpm file to 18.40 folder

This is output from Git Bash for windows

You can connect to database via sqlplus or login into docker container using Windows Dos

    D:\&gt;docker exec -it --user=oracle myxedb bash


[oracle@afce013adb98 /]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [XE] ?
The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /opt/oracle
