For example, if you want to use Oracle Instant Client v19 on linux/arm64 platform and Oracle Instant Client v23 on linux/amd64 platform, you can do the following:

FROM socheatsok78/oracle-instantclient:19.27.0.0.0-basic AS oicd-distribution-amd64
FROM socheatsok78/oracle-instantclient:23.26.1.0.0-basic AS oicd-distribution-arm64
FROM oicd-distribution-${TARGETARCH} AS oracle-instantclient

# Final
FROM alpine:latest
ENV PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient:$PATH
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient
RUN apk add --no-cache gcompat libaio
COPY --from=oicd-distribution /opt/oracle /opt/oracle

⁠What is the difference between basic and basiclite?

• basic package includes all files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications.
• basiclite package is a smaller version of the Basic package, with only English error messages and Unicode, ASCII, and Western European character set support.
