You may have read one of my previous posts Oracle 12c on Docker where I described how you can get hold of official Oracle images from the Docker Store.
In this post I will share how you can now use the Oracle Container Registry to obtain Docker images for all licensable Oracle products.
To access the Oracle Registry Server you must have an Oracle Single Sign-On (SSO) account, this is the same account you use for support.oracle.com and opn.oracle.com etc..
Navigate to https://container-registry.oracle.com/ and login using your SSO credentials, once authenticated you will be presented with the ‘Explore’ webpage.
You can then need to select the required Business Area e.g. ‘Database’ and click the red ‘Continue’ button, you will then be presented with the ‘Oracle Standard Terms and Restrictions’ agreement, review and if acceptable click ‘Accept’ and the bottom of the page.
You will then be returned to the ‘Explorer’ and notice that the Oracle Standard Terms and Restrictions shows you acceptance, this is valid for 8 hours only.
Note: you will not be able to pull and image until you have accepted Oracle Standard Terms and Restrictions.
You are now ready to pull the required image by clicking the repository e.g. ‘enterprise’ and copying & pasting the provided pull command e.g.
The Repository Detail page provides set-up and usage information for the selected image.
Ok, now I have outlined the process let me walk you through it.
1) Login to Registry
ronsmac:~ ronekins$ docker login container-registry.oracle.com
Username: ron.ekins@icloud.com
Password:
Login Succeeded
2a) Pull Oracle Linux
Select ‘OS’ from the ‘Explore Official Business Areas’ and click the red ‘Continue’ button for oraclelinux. As before, accept Oracle Terms.
Now copy the docker pull command and paste in in your Mac or Linux shell.
ronsmac:~ ronekins$ docker pull container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from os/oraclelinux
80d2e45a33d8: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:d31c2987a6c427eeca70fb28ccefd6e788e96b3202dc715aa3c80bcb23673f6d
Status: Downloaded newer image for container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux:latest
2b) Pull Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition
ronsmac:~ ronekins$ docker pull container-registry.oracle.com/database/enterprise
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from database/enterprise
cbb9821ba51c: Pull complete

Status: Downloaded newer image for container-registry.oracle.com/database/enterprise:latest
3) Check Image size
Your Oracle two images are now available for use locally, you can check this with the docker image ls command. e.g.
ronsmac:~ ronekins$ docker image ls
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux latest 6c33a25f4a29 5 weeks ago 229MB
container-registry.oracle.com/database/enterprise latest 12a359cd0528 2 months ago 3.44GB

Follow-up ‘Registry’ teaser
Within the ‘OS’ area Oracle provides a registry image which you can use to deploy a local registry so you can pull images and customise as required, the local registry also avoids the need the to authenticate every 8 hours, I will detail all of this in a follow-up post.
ronsmac:~ ronekins$ docker pull container-registry.oracle.com/os/registry
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from os/registry
