And this is exactly why you should containerise your db's run environment with docker. Dependency management. You cannot control your host environment to the same degree you can control the docker environment, given the same amount of effort. If Oracle only supports RH6 and you use Ubuntu LTS on your host, you run it in a RH6 based container. Oh look, maybe even use the official one https://github.com/oracle/docker-images https://github.com/oracle/docker-images

If the DB vendor is supplying and supporting the images, then that's a different story, of course. The devil is in the details, and the presence of Docker support shouldn't be interpreted to suggest that other aspects of database administration shouldn't be followed. At any rate, at least MySQL and its Percona variant have native packages for modern mainstream Linux distributions , so as a practical matter you shouldn't need to run them in a container: they've already worked out the dependencies for you. This means you don't need to bother with the overhead of Docker.
