Notes
You will need to Oracle "orapki" tool for this. You can find that tool in the "Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure" Docker Hub image: store/oracle/fmw-infrastructure:12.2.1.3-200127. You will need to login to Docker Hub and accept it's terms of use before pulling that image.
$ docker login $ docker pull store/oracle/fmw-infrastructure:12.2.1.3-200127 $ docker run -it --rm -u root -v $(pwd):/mounted_files store/oracle/fmw-infrastructure:12.2.1.3-200127 /bin/bash bash-4.2# ls /u01/oracle/oracle_common/bin/orapki /u01/oracle/oracle_common/bin/orapki bash-4.2#
