# Oracle GoldenGate Studio Release 23ai (23.9.0.25.09) Container Image Documentation GoldenGate Studio is an easy way to create replication pipelines based on GoldenGate technology. GoldenGate lets you perform real time change data capture and high availability data management. Learn the basics as you design, run, orchestrate, and monitor data replication processes using simple building blocks, or guided recipes to get you started quickly. This image contains the GoldenGate Studio web application and recipes to replicate transactions between Oracle databases. You can pair this with GoldenGate Free for Oracle or a commercial GoldenGate for Oracle version. ## Using This Image To try out GoldenGate Studio you’ll need to download and run this container from a location that has network access to the database(s) that you want to connect and replicate data with – this can be on a local machine or on cloud compute, but please ensure that the database is accessible from the location you choose to run GoldenGate Studio. To make things as easy as possible there is dedicated ‘how-to’ documentation for GoldenGate Studio, here are some guides to get started: * Get started with GoldenGate Studio (Video): http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=en/middleware/goldengate/studio/23&id=ggsug-aboutggos * Overview / About GoldenGate Studio: https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/goldengate/studio/23/ggsug/goldengate-studio.html * How to create a pipeline in GoldenGate Studio (Video): http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=en/middleware/goldengate/studio/23&id=ggsug-createpipeline * How to create a database connection (Video): http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=en/middleware/goldengate/studio/23&id=ggsug-dbconn As you are using GoldenGate Studio, if you need any help or spot any issues that Oracle Development should take a look at, please consider posting a comment or question on the Oracle Developer Community forum for GoldenGate Free and GoldenGate Studio Free, here: https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/domain/dev-community/category/goldengate-free ## How to run Oracle GoldenGate Studio in a Container Use the `docker run` command to create and start a container from the Oracle GoldenGate Studio container image. ```sh $ docker run -p 8443:8443 -e STUDIO_ADMIN=studioadmin -e STUDIO_ADMIN_PWD=changeMe-123 container-registry.oracle.com/goldengate/goldengate-studio-free:latest ``` It will instantiate a container with following default options: * Auto-generated container name and hostname * 'studioadmin' for the name of the administrative account * 'changeMe-123' for the password for the administrative account * Auto-generated self-signed certificate Open your browser and go to the following address ```sh https://:8443 ``` ## Advanced usage of the image ```sh $ docker run \ --name \ --hostname \ -p :8443 \ -e STUDIO_ADMIN= \ -e STUDIO_ADMIN_PWD= \ container-registry.oracle.com/goldengate/goldengate-studio-free:latest ``` Parameters: * `--name ` - A name for the new container (default: auto generated) * `--hostname ` - The domain name to use for subject name and DNS in the self-signed certificate * `-p :8443` - The host port to map to the Oracle GoldenGate HTTPS server (default: no mapping) * `-e STUDIO_ADMIN` - The username of the administrative account to create * `-e STUDIO_ADMIN_PWD` - The password for the administrative account to create ### Changing the Default Administrative Account Password Using the docker exec command, change the password for those accounts by invoking the setPassword.sh script that is found in the container. Note that the container must be running. For example: ```sh $ docker exec -ti ./setPassword.sh ``` This new password will be used afterwards. ### Best practices to secure Docker containers Running containers as a non-root helps to mitigate security vulnerabilities. Running your containers on rootless mode will verify that your application environment is safe. By default, Docker gives root permission to the processes within your containers, which means they have full administrative access to your container and host environments. Oracle Enterprise Linux is using the docker-compatible Podman to run and manage Open Container Initiative (OCI) compatible containers. Follow the Rootless Podman tutorial to setup Podman in rootless mode. ### Diagnostic logging The logs for Oracle GoldenGate Studio can be found under /etc/runit/artifacts/oggf/logs/ * ggos-api-server*.log - The rolling logs from api-server * ggos-api-perf*.log - The rolling logs for server performance ## Release Notes https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/goldengate/studio/23/ggsug/release-notes.html ## GoldenGate Licensing Information User Manual (LIUM) https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/goldengate/core/23/ogglc/index.html ## Documentation Accessibility For information about Oracle's commitment to accessibility, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program website at https://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/. --- Oracle GoldenGate Studio Release 23ai (23.9.0.25.09) Container Image Documentation Copyright © 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates.
