Hello, probably it's my fault but could you advise me what to do in such situation? Build passed successfully.

Do you have selinux in enforcing mode?

[bmbBAMBUS]

getenforce
returns Disabled

[fuzziebrain]

What about the Docker version that you're running?

[bmbBAMBUS]

Docker version 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a
I want to add that XE 11 from oracle/docker-images works correctly.

I run the same version of Docker and have had no issues. You could try running the container without mounting a volume. See if that works.

I see the last comment was nearly half a year ago, but I ran into the same issue. Since I finally figured it out, I figured I'd at least comment in case anyone else runs into it.

I was running into the same exact issue so I decided I'd try to start completly over, which means destroying all the docker containers, images and the host OS data directory ~/docker/oracle-xe.

I then remembered, and recreated this issue.

After running docker build -t oracle-xe:18c ., next command you should run is docker run ....

You should definetly watch the logs with a better docker logs command such as this docker logs -f --tail 25 oracle-xe because if the docker run fails on the first attempt it will give the error of this issue #20. Like @fuzziebrain explains, this is because it runs oracle-xe configure on the first run.

Either way, if you run into this error rm -rf ~/docker/oracle-xe or whever your datastores are, destroy all docker containers and images used and start over with the instructions.

Following the above advice, I blew away everything. During the build step, I do notice that I get errors in installing the required packages:

install-info: /usr/share/info/dir: could not read (No such file or directory) and could not create (No such file or directory)
failed to link /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/ksh-man: No such file or directory

I'm not sure if this is a critical error, or more a warning, the logs don't clearly tell me. I allow the build to continue and the build finally reports complete! When running the first docker run command, the run command trows a warning about the sga_target is too small, ORACLE not available, and finally cannot stat /opt/oracle/product/18c/dbhomeXE/dbs/spfileXE.ora.

I'm sure there is some step I'm missing, I just can't seem to figure out what that missing step is.

This is my second attempt since my first try failed so I created another docker oracle-xe from your image download. Can you please what should I do to get my sql developer connects to ORACLE DATABASE?
