Connection string for Oracle ORDS docker container - oracle

Cannot connect to database please validate CONN_STRING has below shape: user/password#hostname:port/service_name
my connection string: CONN_STRING=sys/#mypwd##172.xx.0.xx:1521/ORCLCDB
My oracle-db container is up and running, can connect to it in SQL Developer (user and pwd are ok, service_name and port are ok).
Anything else I can try?
Both oracle-db container and ords container are set to run in the same docker network (so network ok) I tried with the container ip (the one 170.xx.0.xx like from) as hostname, no luck.

Is there any extra step to connect oracle database running on docker to connect to sql developer?

I pulled the image from this docker pull store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1
Also I can run the database by docker run -d -it --name <Oracle-DB> store/oracle/database-enterprise:12.2.0.1
In my docker status, this container is up, running on port 1521 and healthy.
I can also access the db from inside the container.
When I tried to access the db from sql developer from my local inside. I get the error Status : Failure - Test failed: IO Error :The Network adapter could not establish the connection
Username : dummy
Password : dummy
Hostname : localhost
Port : 1521
I use Ubuntu 16.04.
What steps are more needed to access db running on docker?
Edit 1:
sql developer runs on local machine, outside the docker container.
Make sure your listener is running on the docker container, your listener.ora is configured correctly, and make sure your 'Hostname' in your connection details is the hostname of the docker container, not 'localhost' (assuming you are running SQL Developer from a different host or container, it's not clear from your question).

Windows - jboss on docker, connection refused to local oracle database

I have Jboss running in a docker container. On jboss I have defined a connection to the xa-datasource database as the ip address of my computer and not localhost because I work in Windows 10. Despite the correct ip and port to the database (oracle) I keep getting the connection refused error. I run jboss with the command
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 myjboss
Can anyone help me, or do I need any additional settings in my docker. I will add that I also test alpine and in the container (exec) I can ping my ip address.
Thanks a lot for all the answers. I would like to add that I tested all other solutions contained in similar questions, but unfortunately I did not get the expected results.
If you can ping your host IP, but you can’t connect to the database, granted that the DB is running and the listener is up...
I’d advise you to check the Windows Firewall settings.
Maybe try disabling it to check if you can actually connect to the database, if so, add an Inbound Rule to the firewall to allow connections on port 1521 (or whatever port your listener is running on)
I solved this problem by using not ip/localhost but host.docker.internal as described here -> https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/networking/

How to connect two docker containers

I have a Docker container running PostgreSQL, it runs fine since I can connect to it from IntelliJ. In another container I have a GRPC based app, which crashes immediately every time I try to run it because it needs to connect to the Postgres database running in the other container.
I've tried publishing the ports for both containers but nothings helps... I even got an error because I tried to map the two containers to the same ports, since the app connects to postgres on the port it runs on which is 5432 by default(I didn't change this).
I wonder how you go about connecting the two containers so that my app can access the database and I can test the GRPC requests.
Thanks in advance
Make the app container run on port 5432 and expose it to any port and make the postgres container run on any port and exposes the port 5432
docker run -p xxx:5432 yourapp
docker run -p 5432:yyy postgres
need to insure that the postgres is running inside the container at port yyy
Quick answer:
You can't.
The best way is to have either both containers running on the host network(--net host) or one container running on another containers network(--net container:<containerID>).

Connect to a MariaDB Docker Container in a own Docker network remotly

Hi what I am actually trying is to connect remotly from a MySQL Client in Windows Subsystem for Linux mysql -h 172.18.0.2 -P 3306 -u root -p and before that I started the Docker Container as follows: docker container run --name testdb --network testnetwork -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mysqlRootPassword -e MYSQL_DATABASE=localtestdb -d mariadb/server.
The purpose why I put the container in a own network, is because I also have a dockerized Spring Boot Application (GraphQL-Server) which shall communicated with this db. But always when I try to connect from my built-in mysql client, in my Windows Subsystem for Linux, with the above shown command. I got the error message: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '172.18.0.2' (115).
What I already tried, to solve the problem on my own is, look up whether the configuration file line (bind-address) is commented out. But it wont work. Interestingly it already worked to set up a docker container with MariaDB and connect from the outside, but now when I try exactly the same, only with the difference that I now put the container in a own existing network, it wont work.
Hopefully there some one out there which is able to help me with this annonying problem.
Thanks!
So far,
Daniel
//edit:
Now I tried the solution advice from a guy from this topic: How to configure containers in one network to connect to each other (server -> mysql)?. Futhermore I linked my Spring Boot (server) application with the "--link databaseContainerName" parameter to the MariaDB container.
Now I am able to start both containers without any error, but I am still not able to connect remotly to the MariaDB container. Which is now running in a virtual docker network with his own subnet.
I explored this recently - this is by design - container isolation. Usually only main (service httpd) host is accessible externally, hiding internal connections (hosts it communicates to deliver response).
Container created in own network is not accessible from external adresses, even from containers in the same bridge but other network (172.19.0.0/16).
Your container should be accessible on docker host address (127.0.0.1 if run locally) and mapped ("-p 3306:3306") port - 3306. But of course it won't work if many running db containers have the same mapping to the same host port.
Isolation is done using firewall - iptables. You can list rules (iptables -L) to see that - from docker host level.
You can modify firewall to allow external access to internal networks. I used this rule:
iptables -A DOCKER -d 172.16.0.0/12 -j ACCEPT
After that your MySQL containerized engine should be accessible using internal address 172.18.0.2 and source (not mapped) port 3306.
Warnings
it disables all isolation, dont't use it on production;
you have to run this after every docker start - rules created/modified by docker on the fly
not every docker container will respond on ping, check it from docker host (linux subsystem in this case) first, from windows cmd later
I used this option (in docker.service) to make rule permanent:
ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c '/etc/iptables/accept172_16.sh'
For docker on external(shared in lan) host you should use route add (or hosts file on your machine or router) to forward 172.x.x.x addresses into lan docker host.
Hint: use portainer project (with restart policy - always) to manage docker containers. It's easier to see config errors, too.

SQL*Plus connection SetUp: ORA-12154 Error

Sorry for the noob question but I am new to Oracle SQL software.
I've been trying to create a connection to my database student (created on SQL Developer), but got quite confusing since I'm using a client-computer which will connect to server.
Below are the info about the connection:
Connection Name: LARGER123
Username: LARGER123
Hostname: uxkg265.admin.plent
Port: 1520
SID: ticp5076
Client-computer username: r5678
When I open the SQL Plus prompt, I tried several combinations on the username in order to establish the connection, but got the same error ORA-12154 Error.
I though that it could be the way I was setting the things on username field, so I followed the instructions from Oracle's website:
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMQS/GUID-1A15D322-B3AC-426A-86A1-EB7590930687.htm#ADMQS045
Basically it tells to "build" the username structure in that way:
nick#"dbhost.example.com/orcl.example.com"
Where: "nick" is the user; "dbhost.example.com" is the host; and "orcl.example.com" is the database.
So, following the example I put my username in that way and got errors:
LARGER123#"uxkg265.admin.plent/student"
I tried different ways, including the Port and SID but got no success.
Do you have a better idea of what's my mistake?
Are you quite certain somebody is listening where you are trying to connect. I would suggest you start by testing with telnet.
You say your server has the domain name “uxkg265.admin.plent”
nslookup uxkg265.admin.plent
I just checked my IP address and found:
$ nslookup $(hostname)
Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx##53
Name: mydomain.myorg.com
Address: 192.168.56.1
I just tried to connect to my oracle instance and got:
$ telnet 192.168.56.1 1521
Trying 192.168.56.1...
Connected to 192.168.56.1
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
If I try to the wrong port, I get:
$ telnet 192.168.56.1 1522
Trying 192.168.56.1...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.56.1: Connection refused
I was able to connect with:
sqlplus myoracle/testpass#192.168.56.1:1521/UPGR
where UPGR is the service name.
I was also able to connect with:
sqlplus myoracle/testpass#"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.56.1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=UPGR)))"
With UPGR as the SID.
I had some trouble initially because my version of Oracle Linux had iptables enabled and that was keeping me from connecting using sqlplus. As soon as I disabled this protection, I was able to use Oracle.
sudo service iptables stop
sudo chkconfig iptables off
(Keep in mind that iptables serves a purpose. For my test system running on my PC in VirtualBox, turning it off is fine. For other systems, maybe not.)
ORA-12154 is TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified, but you likely aren't using TNS to resolve the connect identifier: have you edited the tnsnames.ora file on the client machine and created an entry for the SID you're trying to connect to? Probably not.
Instead of selecting SID, select "Service name" and put the Oracle SID there. With the "Basic" connection type, that should use the host/port and service name explicitly to build the connection rather than relying on TNS to look up (resolve) the SID.
