Error starting container with a mapped volume

[tberne]

Hi. I'm trying to start a container in a Linux box. It fails in both, docker and docker-compose.

Here's my compose configuration:

  db_oracle:
    image: sath89/oracle-12c
    ports:
    - 127.0.0.1:1521:1521
    - 127.0.0.1:18080:8080
    volumes:
    - /home/yoda/Documentos/lumis/env/oracle/data:/u01/app/oracle
    environment:
    - DBCA_TOTAL_MEMORY=3072

Here's the container output:

Database not initialized. Initializing database.
mv: failed to access '/u01/app/oracle/dbs': Too many levels of symbolic links
Starting tnslsnr
Cannot create directory "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca".

Unique database identifier check passed.

Look at the log file "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/silent.log_2018-09-11_02-14-36-PM" for further details.

When removing the volume mapping, the container starts well.

I ran into the same problem. Not sure what caused it, probably prematurely exiting container. However, it can be fixed in two ways.

Easy: Deleting the contents of the shared volume from your file system: rm -r -f /local/comupter/volume/*

A little harder: Start docker container with docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 1521:1521 -v /local/comupter/volume/:/container/volumn/ -ti sath89/oracle-12c bash Repair entrypoint.sh sed -i "s/mv \(\/u01\/app\/oracle-product\/12.1.0\/xe\/dbs \/u01\/app\/oracle\/dbs\)/cp -r \1/" /entrypoint.sh Run entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh

Hopefully the owner will make a perminate fix soon: Its in entypoint.sh at line 73

Looks like database corruption due to hard stop.

@jozsefmorrissey Now sure what kind of fix you are looking for. If you have any suggestion you are welcome to create PR with detailed explanation

      Looks like database corruption due to hard stop.

Actually, it was the very first time the container has been started. So, I don't believe it is something like database corruption due to hard stop, since there was no stop at all.

Volumes from host might have issues. Try to use docker volumes (non hostPath) like -v oracle12_data:/u01/app/oracle

[tberne]

@MaksymBilenko, I'll try that later and post the results here.

Using docker volumes in my docker-compose.yml solved this issue.

I could solve the issue with Cannot create directory and Error writing into silent log - by chmod -R a+w /home/user1/oracle12-data This is the directory I used when running the docker docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 1521:1521 -v /home/user1/oracle12-data:/u01/app/oracle -d sath89/oracle-12c:latest
