Disk Space Allocation
It’s necessary to check for adequate disk space on your Virtual Machine (VM) before installing Oracle 23c Free in a Docker container or as a podman service. Either way, it requires about 13 GB of disk space. On Ubuntu, the typical install of a VM allocates 20 GB and a 500 MB swap. You need to create a 2 GB swap when you install Ubuntu or plan to change the swap, as qualified in this excellent DigitalOcean article. Assuming you installed it with the correct swap or extended your swap area, you can confirm it with the following command:
sudo swapon --show |
It should return something like this:
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /swapfile file 2.1G 1.2G -2 |
Next, check your disk space allocation and availability with this command:
df -h |
This is what was in my instance with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases already installed and configured with sandboxed schemas:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 388M 2.1M 386M 1% /run /dev/sda3 20G 14G 4.6G 75% / tmpfs 1.9G 28K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock /dev/sda2 512M 6.1M 506M 2% /boot/efi tmpfs 388M 108K 388M 1% /run/user/1000 |
Using VMware Fusion on my Mac (Intel-based i9), I changed the allocated space from 20 GB to 40 GB by navigating to Virtual Machine, Settings…, Hard Disk. I entered 40.00 as the disk size and clicked the Pre-allocate disk space checkbox before clicking the Apply button, as shown in below. This added space is necessary because Oracle Database 23c Free as a Docker instance requires almost 10 GB of local space.
After clicking the Apply button, I checked Ubuntu with the “df -h” command and found there was no change. That’s unlike doing the same thing on AlmaLinux or a RedHat distribution, which was surprising.
The next set of steps required that I manually add the space to the Ubuntu instance:
- Start the Ubuntu VM and check the instance’s disk information with fdisk:
sudo fdisk -l

After running fdisk, I rechecked disk allocation with df -h and saw no change:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 388M 2.1M 386M 1% /run /dev/sda3 20G 14G 4.6G 75% / tmpfs 1.9G 28K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock /dev/sda2 512M 6.1M 506M 2% /boot/efi tmpfs 388M 108K 388M 1% /run/user/1000
- So, I installed Ubuntu’s user space utility gparted:
sudo apt install gparted

- After installing the gparted utility (manual can be found here), you can launch it with the following syntax:
sudo apt install gparted
You’ll see the following in the console, which you can ignore.
GParted 1.3.1 configuration --enable-libparted-dmraid --enable-online-resize libparted 3.4
It launches a GUI interface that should look something like the following:
Right-click on the /dev/sda3 Partition and the GParted application will present the following context popup menu. Click the Resize/Move menu option.
The attempt to resize the disk at this point GParted will raise a read-only exception like the following:
You might open a new shell and fix the disk at the command-line but you’ll need to relaunch gparted regardless. So, you should close gparted and run the following commands:
sudo mount -o remount -rw / sudo mount -o remount -rw /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell
When you relaunch GParted, you see that the graphic depiction has changed when you right-click on the /dev/sda3 Partition as follows:
Click on the highlighted box with the arrow and drag it all the way to the right. It will then show you something like the following.
Click the Resize button to make the change and add the space to the Ubuntu file system and see something like the following in Gparted:
Choose Edit in the menu bar and then Apply All Operations to effect the change in the disk allocation. The last dialog will require you to verify you want to make the changes. Click the Apply button to make the changes.
Click the close for the GParted application and then you can rerun the following command:
df -h
You will see that you now have 19.5 GB of additional space:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 388M 2.2M 386M 1% /run /dev/sda3 39G 19.5G 23G 39% / tmpfs 1.9G 28K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock /dev/sda2 512M 6.1M 506M 2% /boot/efi tmpfs 388M 116K 388M 1% /run/user/1000
- Finally, you can now successfully download the latest Docker version of Oracle Database 23c Free with the following command:
docker run --name oracle23c -p 1521:1521 -p 5500:5500 -e ORACLE_PWD=cangetin container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:latest
Since you haven’t downloaded the container, you’ll get a warning that it is unable to find the image before it discovers it and downloads it. This will take several minutes. At the conclusion, it will start the Oracle Database Net Listener and begin updating files. the updates may take quite a while to complete.
The basic download console output looks like the following and if you check your disk space you’ve downloaded about 14 GB in the completed container.

As always, I hope this helps those trying to work with the newest Oracle stack.
Parallels + Ubuntu
Installing Parallels on my iStudio (M2) was straightforward because I let it install Windows 11. Then, when I wanted to install Ubuntu it wasn’t quite that easy. You just need to understand that you click the Parallels’ Window menu option and Control Center option.
The Control Center option provides the following dialog.
Click the + symbol to create a new virtualization and you get the following dialog; and choose the Download Ubuntu with x86_64 emulation if you want to install a Docker image that’s not ported to ARM, like the Oracle Database 19c.
It’ll then explain in this dialog that is uses Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology, which means you should be able to install an Intel architecture Docker image with Oracle Database 23c.
As always, I hope this helps those trying to sort out how to leverage a new stack.
