Unfortunately Oracle databases aren’t compatible with the new Apple Silicon CPU architecture. Due to this fact you’re not able to run an Oracle XE image with TestContainers on your brand-new MacBook, but there’s a workaround!

TLDR;

Install colima

Run colima start --arch x86_64 --memory 4

Set TestContainers env vars

export TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock export DOCKER_HOST="unix://${HOME}/.colima/docker.sock" Run your tests based on Gerald Venzl's Oracle XE image
