Windocks – a different way to use SQL Server on Docker

I spent some times to write blog posts about SQL Server on Docker since few months and you likely noticed it concerned mainly SQL Server on Linux. But what about SQL Server on Docker and Windows? If you take a look at the Docker images provided by Microsoft, only 2017 version is available and it is only intended for development… 

Customizing PostgreSQL parameters in EDB containers in MiniShift/OpenShift

This blog refers to an older version of EDB’s Postgres on Kubernetes offering that is no longer available. In the last two posts we deployed an EDB database container and two pgpool instances and then scaled that up to include a read only replica. In this post will use a ConfigMap to adjust parameters in postgresql.conf as you will probably… 

Scaling the EDB containers in MiniShift/OpenShift

This blog refers to an older version of EDB’s Postgres on Kubernetes offering that is no longer available. When you followed the last post you should have two pgpool instances and one EDB Postgres instance running in OpenShift. pgpool is responsible for the load balancing, meaning: Send write requests to the master instance and spread read requests over all instances.… 

Deploying EDB containers in MiniShift/OpenShift

This blog refers to an older version of EDB’s Postgres on Kubernetes offering that is no longer available. In this post we’ll look at how we can deploy EnterpriseDB containers in MiniShift. When you need to setup MiniShift have a look here. In this post we’ll do the setup with the MiniShift console, in a next post we’ll do the… 

Some ideas about Oracle Database on Docker

By Franck Pachot . This is not a ‘best practice’ but just some ideas about building Docker images to provide an Oracle Database. I started with the images provided by Oracle: https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/master/OracleDatabase/SingleInstance and this is great to validate the docker environment. Then I customized for my needs and here are the different points about this customization. Do not send a… 

ADWC – a Docker container to start/stop Oracle Cloud services

By Franck Pachot . In the previous post, I’ve explained how to start and stop the Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud service from PSM (PaaS Service Manager). There’s a setup phase, and a run phase starting with service-start and ending with service-stop. And the setup is specific to an Oracle Cloud account, storing information in the local user home. You may… 

Load Balancing with Docker Swarm mode and SQL Server containers

Docker swarm mode provides an easy way to publish ports for services. Indeed, in this mode all nodes participate in an ingress routing mesh and accept connections to any service port published. Thus, all incoming requests are routed to available nodes hosting a service. That’s a pretty cool feature but it has some drawbacks. Let’s say that a node goes… 

Managing SQL Server sa credentials with Docker secrets on Swarm

A couple of weeks ago, I was working on a MSSQL Server docker image in a context of Hidora, a swiss cloud provider based on jelastic and for Docker-based applications. When writing my jps manifest file I was agreeably surprised about the section concerning the MSSQL Server credentials information. We may able to define global variables for SQL Server sa… 

Docker: efficiently building images for large software

By Franck Pachot . I see increasing demand to build a Docker image for the Oracle Database. But the installation process for Oracle does not really fit the Docker way to install by layers: you need to unzip the distribution, install from it to the Oracle Home, remove the things that are not needed, strop the binaries,… Before addressing those… 

Docker-CE on Oracle Enterprise Linux 7

By Franck Pachot . Here is how I install the latest Docker version on Oracle Linux 7. You find several blog posts about it which all install ‘docker-engine’. But things move fast in this agile world and docker package name has changed. The Community Edition is now ‘docker-ce’ and you want this one to run the latest version. I’m on… 

SQL Server on Docker and network bridge considerations

Let’s continue with this blog post series about SQL Server and Docker. A couple of days ago, I was in a customer shop that already implemented SQL Server 2017 on Linux as Docker containers. It was definitely a very interesting day with a lot of customer experience and feedbacks. We discussed with him about lot of architecture scenarios. The interesting…
