Running Oracle XE on Apple Silicon
Unfortunately Oracle databases aren’t compatible with the new Apple Silicon CPU architecture. Due to this fact you’re not able to run an Oracle XE database on your brand-new MacBook, but there’s a workaround!
TLDR;
-
Run
colima start --arch x86_64 --memory 4 -
Run the Oracle XE docker image
docker run -d -p 1521:1521 -e ORACLE_PASSWORD=<your password> gvenzl/oracle-xe
