Completed the build of my new Ubuntu Virtual Machine (VM) with Oracle 23c installed in a Docker instance, and MySQL and PostgreSQL installed locally. The VM image also provides a LAMP stack with Apache2, PHP 8.1 with MySQLi and PDO modules. Since the original post, I’ve added a number of items to support our program courses and the Data Science degrees.

There are lots of tricks and techniques in the blog associated with creating the build. I took the background photograph of Chapel Bridge early on Sunday morning August 30, 1987 in Lucerne Switzerland (with a Canon A1 and ASA 64 slide film that subsequently digitized well).

Next step: roll it out into an AWS image for the students to use for their courses.
