APEX Service

About

The APEX Service should make it very easy to set up and use APEX. See also: About APEX Service

At the moment this is an Docker Image to set up Oracle APEX in a very comfortable way.
Note: A seperate database is needed.

This image contains:

an Installer for Oracle APEX 18.2
auto-installing Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) 18.2
installed SQLcl 18.2
installed Apache Tomcat 8.5

Using

1. Downloads

Due to license restrictions, you will need to download some installation files on your own.
See: downloads/README.md

2. Build the image

$ make image 

$ docker inspect apex-service:18.2

3. Build the Database Image

see: oracle/docker-images

4. Write a docker-compose file

More about docker-compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/overview/

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
  apex:
    image: apex-service:18.2
    ports: 
      - 8080:8080
    environment:
      DB_HOSTNAME: oradb
      DB_PORT: 1521
      DB_SERVICE: PDB
      SYS_USER: SYS
      SYS_PASSWORD: Oracle12c
      ORDS_PW: apex

ORDS_PW is used for the following database users:

APEX_PUBLIC_USER
APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER
APEX_LISTENER
ORDS_PUBLIC_USER

A second sample (incl. database service): docker-compose.yml

5. Database

The database must be accessible for the next steps.
If you are also using the docker-compose.yml for the database, then

$ docker-compose up -d oradb

5. Installing APEX (optional)

After setting up the compose configuration, APEX can be easily installed with

$ docker-compose run --rm apex   /opt/oracle/apex/install_apex.sh

The installer also configures APEX to be more suitable for development. The configuration can be found here: apex_service_config.sql

6. Running the APEX Service Container

And finally, we bring it up:

$ docker-compose up apex

APEX is now available: http://localhost:8080/ords/apex_admin (admin/admin)
