Simple Sample: Oracle NoSQL With Docker Compose

Here is an example of using the Dockerized Oracle NoSQL image. This, along with many other Dockerized Oracle products, are available here.

Key points

• Demonstrates usage of Docker Compose: co-ordinates an Oracle NoSQL container and a dependent container running its (Java) client.
• Docker Containers
  • Oracle NoSQL ‘kvlite‘ instance (simple enough for demonstration).
  • A Jersey + Grizzly based Fat JAR application which acts as a client.

Jersey App Image

• Built from the latest openjdk image.
• Exposes a REST interface to put keys into Oracle NoSQL instance and retrieve the key (return the inserted time stamp).

Oracle NoSQL Image

• The Docker Hub image is directly referenced in docker-compose configuration.
• Shows this as an example along with the build image pattern demonstrated by the Jersey app.

It's very simple to set up – instructions are available here. All you need to do is make sure that you have Docker installed.

Cheers!
