Hello All:
I am trying to install Oracle Enterprise Edition for database in imac using docker hub and after downloading image with docker pull command, I get this error when I give docker start oracle command with any of these ways:

docker start oracle
Error response from daemon: No such container: oracle
Error: failed to start containers: oracle

ARUNs-iMac:~ arunthapa$ docker images

Please help,

I edited your post to make the codes more readable. Please, use the code block button (</>) when you insert codes. In the worst cases the markdown filter can totally breake your post.

  1. Your first command is docker start oracle, but you have not created a container yet with the name “oracle”. This is what docker run ... could do.
  2. Your second command shows the images. You can see you don’t have store/oracle/database-enterprise with the “latest” tag. If you don’t set the tag on docker run for the image, it will use the “latest”

This should work:

docker run store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1-slim

Although you probably want to run it in the background with a name like this:

docker run -d --name oracle store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1-slim

I haven’t tested it. Usually databa se containers need some parameters. Read the documentation or at least the description on Docker Hub if there is one for more details.
