Is there any possibility of an ARM Image for those of us using Oracle TestContainers on MacOS? #46

Making the wild assumption that it could be compatible with your oracle-xe container.

Hi @nigel-trousdale,

Thanks a lot for your interest in these images!

Unfortunately, not just yet. There is currently no Oracle Database 23c Free ARM port available to build a container image from. However, Oracle has stated that an ARM port for Oracle Database 23c Free is coming later this year. Once it is out, I will be on it to provide arm-based images as well.

Thanks @gvenzl . We are making great use of your images with TestContainers for our integration testing, but many of the team are now on Apple Silicon Macs, which causes quite some issues. I haven't found a way to use different docker contexts for different test containers otherwise that might be an option.

Thanks for sharing its planned later this year!

We also switched to Apple Silicon Macs and use Java Testcontainers. While running a amd64 container should work with colima, setting up the correct environment is quite complex and it is often broken due some changes in colima/docker and macOS itself, when using macOS Virtualization. A solution out of the box using arm64 images without colima sounds perfect.

Last year, the developer release of 23c was released in April. A similar time schedule would be nice to give you/Oracle faster feedback :)
