🛠️ Features

• Multi-platform support for amd64 and arm64
• Patch ZIP management and release metadata per RU
• Scripted and repeatable image builds
• Docker Compose setups for development, test, and HA scenarios
• Centralized and extensible documentation

🚀 Getting Started

Build an Oracle 19c image for amd64:

cd common
./buildDB.sh -r 19.27.0.0 -p amd64

Launch a container from a Compose example:

cd samples/single-instance
docker-compose up -d

📦 Patch and Metadata Layout

Example:

database/19/software/amd64/RU_19.27.0.0/oracle_package_names_amd64

Each file defines which patch ZIPs to include for the specified release and platform. Used by buildDB.sh to build the final image.
