request for docker image with node-oracledb and instant client

[mrchulho]

An official docker image with node-oracledb and the instant client would be helpful. We can use it as a base image, and add custom node apps and deploy readily. We could mount a volume of oracle wallet as external credentials.

Thanks,

This is what I use for testing

Thanks @cjbj. While a Docker image with instant client already installed may be useful, I struggle to see how an image for the Node.js driver makes much sense. Usually applications/app developers want to be very specific about which version of the driver the app supports rather than just using the latest and greatest. And even if not, the driver can be easily installed via npm, whether that's in a Dockerfile or inside a setup script. Or am I missing something here?

Instant Client is available for Docker
A Docker image with the Basic, SDK and SQL*Plus packages is available on the Docker Store or from the Oracle Container Registry. Docker build files are available on GitHub.
