Answer 1

I share my version of docker that I made to work with the latest version of alpine and instantclient basiclite. The size of the docker image is 124 mb.

I share my github where you can download it

Docker + alpine + Instantclient Basiclite

Or you can see below the content of the dockerfile

FROM alpine:latest
# Install Instantclient Basic Light Oracle and Dependencies
RUN apk --no-cache add libaio libnsl libc6-compat curl && \
cd /tmp && \
curl -o instantclient-basiclite.zip https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/instantclient-basiclite-linuxx64.zip -SL && \
unzip instantclient-basiclite.zip && \
mv instantclient*/ /usr/lib/instantclient && \
rm instantclient-basiclite.zip && \
ln -s /usr/lib/instantclient/libclntsh.so.19.1 /usr/lib/libclntsh.so && \
