Hi, To anyone interested, there is this Docker image with Oracle [1] which was taken off [2], then Oracle members of staff were looking into finding out what happened [3], then long months of waiting followed.
The happy news is that the image is back online and available for anyone who needs a ready to use Oracle setup. For Travis CI builds, we used to use the hacky downloader [4] that automatically filled Oracle web forms with dummy credentials to pass through to download. Then, we switched to a simpler downloader solution [5] where multi-part archive with Oracle installer is hosted on GitHub. However, I think it would be good to switch the SOCI's Travis CI jobs to use Oracle via Docker image. Then, it could be used in other AppVeyor too, I think. If anyone feels like giving the migration to docker a go, great and PRs are appreciated.
