hi everyone,  
according to [Oracle-XE Module - Testcontainers for Java](https://www.testcontainers.org/modules/databases/oraclexe/) , i’m trying to create an Oracle Container in Quarkus using a valid docker image.  
i tried with “store/oracle/database-instantclient:12.2.0.1” and “store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1” but nothing.  
Does a valid docker image for oracle-xe exist?

the error i get is :

```
SQL State : 66000
Error Code : 12505
Message : Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

```

So maybe with a recent docker image i can avoid this error

According to the docs you shared ([Oracle-XE Module - Testcontainers for Java](https://www.testcontainers.org/modules/databases/oraclexe/)), this code should work for Oracle XE:

```java
OracleContainer oracle = new OracleContainer("gvenzl/oracle-xe:21-slim-faststart")
    .withDatabaseName("testDB")
    .withUsername("testUser")
    .withPassword("testPassword")

```

Could you verify that?
