- You can run DSpace remotely (e.g. on your host machine), and just point it at this Oracle Virtual Machine (see: "Run DSpace Remotely")
- OR, you can install DSpace directly on this Oracle Virtual Machine and run it there (see: "Install DSpace on Virtual Machine")
If you elect to run DSpace remotely, the following aliases may be helpful to you, if you are using a Unix or Linux-based OS for your host machine.
| Code Block | ||

alias ostart='vboxmanage startvm "Oracle DB Developer VM" -type headless'
alias oshut='vboxmanage controlvm "Oracle DB Developer VM" savestate' |
The ostart alias will start up your oracle database, the oshut alias will shut it down very quickly, essentially pausing your server in the state it is in.
If you are using Vagrant-DSpace as your development environment, you will want to create a new vagrant.properties file. Name it something else, vagrant-oracle.properties works. Here are the settings you'll want to use for the database.

db.name=oracle
# Uncomment the appropriate block below for your database.
# postgres
#db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
#db.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace
#db.username=dspace
#db.password=dspace
# oracle
db.driver= oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.2.2:1521/orcl
db.username=username_you_chose_above
db.password=password_you_set_above
|
Things to note: you will want to comment out the Postgres configuration, and change the db.name to oracle. And you'll need to install the Oracle driver as per the usual.

The remainder of this how-to assumes that you wish to run a test DSpace instance in the virtual machine. If you prefer to run DSpace on the host machine instead, you could instead set up port forwarding for the Virtualbox appliance and use only the database in the virtual machine. In that case, skip the rest of this how-to. |
