Simple, quick and easy steps to run an Oracle Database in your development environment using Docker without overloading your machine

Introduction In our development environment, besides being easy and fast to use, above all, we need a lightweight version of it to run locally, right? I have tested different Oracle images and this was the option that best work for me. In this post i will show you how you can run the Oracle Database Express Edition version on your local machine quickly and easily and also how to connect to it using Oracle SQL Developer IDE and SQL*Plus. How to do it Basically we just need two simple steps to get our Oracle database running on our local environment. First we need to login to the Oracle Container Registry so we can pull the image from it and then we just need to run it in a container. You can find more information by going to the Oracle Container Registry , under the "Browse Containers", click into Database and next click in the express Repository for the Oracle Database Express Edition. I am going to skip the docker pull step, because docker run will do it for us
