The idea is that we do not need to know that there is a VM behind the scenes. Instead, the context provides a virtual machine and the containers run there. Docker containers do not run natively on macOS. What is Colima?Ĭolima provides an alternative context for Docker containers. I have not used Colima before, however, it sounds like the way to go until Oracle releases their flagship database system for ARM. Gerald mentions also the limitation regarding the Oracle Database Free on Apple M chips and points to Colima. This is super cool, especially in CI environments. Gerald and the team at Oracle managed to allow us to download Oracle software without forcing us to log in and accept some license agreements. Gerald Venzl’s images ( gvenzl/oracle-free) in the flavours thin, regular, full and faststart.Oracle’s official image ( /database/free).There are two distributions for the Docker image: The Oracle Database 23c Free is available as Linux RPM, VirtualBox VM or Docker image. The release date of Oracle Database 23c Free. So, I lived with my Oracle Database under Windows. I tried other solutions based on QEMU like UTM, but the performance was unbearable slow. And the performance was similar to the Oracle Databases that ran in a Docker container on my Mac mini Server with a 2.3 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7. As far as I remember I did not experience a single crash. Microsoft did a tremendous job running Intel-based software under Windows on ARM. My solution was to run Windows on ARM in Parallels Desktop and install the Oracle Database there. However, I like the ability to develop offline and I often need an Oracle Database. Most of my colleagues decided to go with a database instance in the cloud. At that time, the M1 chip had already been on the market for a year and I knew that there were problems when running virtual machines or Docker containers with the Intel x86_64 architecture. I got my MacBook Pro 16″ with an Apple M1 Max chip with 10 cores, 64 GB RAM and 4 TB disk in November 2021.
