Docker-CE on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) (2)

Three months ago i installed docker on my ubuntu 17.10. At those days there was no straight forward howto on docher.com.

Now the installation is listed on docker.com:

The installation manual can be found here.

root@zerberus:~# apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl   software-properties-common
root@zerberus:~# curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -  OK

root@zerberus:~# apt update
root@zerberus:~# apt install docker-ce

And then a check:

Oracle VM Server x86: Installing Oracle VM Manager (getting the installation media)

If you search for "oracle vm manager" on Oracle Edelivery you will get the following:

 

 Hmmm...

Downloading "Oracle VM Manager with Oracle Linux 2.2.0.0.0" will lead to two files with *.img. These files are no cd/dvd images. But you can find a solution here:

mount -t auto -o loop,offset=$((63*512)) System.img /mnt/System

But this leads to some files with oc4j containers. 

So DO NOT search for "Oracle VM Manager". Use as search string only "VM Manager" and here we go:

Use the "Oracle VM Manager 3.4.4" at the bottom of the page...
(The installation can be found in this posting)

Oracle VM Server x86: Installing Oracle VM Manager

First check the hardware requirements:

After downloading the right image (please do not laugh, this is really a problem), inside a Oracle Linux the following steps have to be done:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

and

# ls /mnt/
components       oracle-validated.params  OvmSDK_3.4.4.1709.zip  sample.yml
createOracle.sh  ovmm-installer.bsx       runInstaller.sh        TRANS.TBL

First try:

[root@localhost ~]# /mnt/createOracle.sh
Missing required package, Oracle VM Manager requires 'iptables-services' to be installed, you can use 'yum install iptables-services' to install it.

Ok:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install iptables-services

And here we go:

# /mnt/createOracle.sh

Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service.

Before starting the "runInstaller.sh" i had to install the following packages:

yum install zip unzip net-tools perl-Data-Dumper

But then:

[root@localhost ~]# /mnt/runInstaller.sh

Oracle database 18c: Installation via RPM

After the release of 18c i did a short dive into the "guide to new features" announced on oracle.com:

 And take a look, what can be found in "Database Overall -> Install, config, and patch":

RPM-based Database Installation

RPM-based Database Installation (RDI) enables an RPM-based installation of the Oracle Database software. Using the rpm-ivh command, an RPM-based database installation performs the preinstallation validations, extracts the packaged software, reassigns the ownership of the extracted software to the preconfigured user and groups, maintains the Oracle inventory, and executes all the root operations required to complete the Oracle Database software installation.
RPM-based Database Installation enables you to leverage an RPM framework to easily deploy Oracle Database.

A kind of rpm installation was introduced for the installation of grid infrastructure in 12.2 (oracle documentation): Image based installation
So no worries, you have to start the runInstaller.sh after rpm -i. But let's see, how you have to specify the Oracle_Home in this rpm-process.

EDIT: On 20th july 2018 the documentation is released. See here.
EDIT2: October 2018: Installation done via rpm
