Have a 23ai with APEX and ORDS running in a few minutes
This set of scripts aims to make developing APEX on your local machine as easy as possible. It is a ready-to-use setup with common tasks automated as bash scripts.
- ✅ Create users and workspaces with optimal settings with a single command
- ✅ All users are stored for easy access with SQLcl or VS Code SQL Developer
- ✅ Easily delete all data to test installation scripts multiple times
- ✅ Backup and restore your data, workspaces and apps
- ✅ Run ORDS with SSL
- ✅ Test APEX application installs
- ✅ VS Code SQL Developer debugger support
This is not for production use! The environment is configured to be unsecure to make development as easy as possible.

I am especially thankful for improvements to the bash scripts.
- The contributors for their help
- Tim Hall for the drop_all.sql script
- Philipp Salvisberg for helping me to figure out how to use the debugger
- Scott Spendolini for his blog post on how to add self-signed certificates to ORDS
- Matt Mulvaney for his blog post on unexpiring ORDS accounts
- The database team for providing an ARM image for the Oracle database
- The ORDS team for providing an ARM image for ORDS
The cherry on top would be Oracle making APEX patches free to download for everyone.
