Fwiw Microsoft SQL server is available as a Linux Docker build:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/quickstart-insta...

Oracle is available as a container and vm:

https://github.com/oracle/vagrant-projects

And via docker:

Since I decided to get rid of my old lab and create a new one, I started looking for some options and found and Oracle git repository for Vagrant deployments. The repository is very complete and the "OracleRAC" deployment was almost perfect of what I wanted to start with, specially the option to use VirtualBox or KVM/libVirt

You can find more commands in Fleet Patching and Provisioning Control (RHPCTL) Command Reference Also, you can find more examples in the Oficial Oracle FPP GitHub

I like this one for .NET https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console which I found in this list https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks.

Done! But before you start this project for yourself, take into consideration that Clack is really lacking in the documentation. Anything fairly complex, you won’t benefit from the pre-made components of clack/prompts. Here's a list of other CLI frameworks you can use instead.

Oclif was one I used a while back but, last I tried it (a couple of months ago), there were either technical or documentation issues that made it a challenge to get started. It sounded like they were in the middle of fixes though so that might be worth a look. Combined with a solid HTTP package like axios, that would be a good leg up if you are proficient in JS.

Good list of options here:

Thor looks great! I'd be surprised if something similar didn't exist for most languages, but with many of them living in obscurity because discovery is so hard without a well-established name for that class of tool. Some googling for "CLI framework" led me to oclif ("Thor for js"?) and to https://www.nexmo.com/legacy-blog/2020/06/12/comparing-cli-b... , but that can't be everything.

PS: https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks also lists some for go and rust, getting there! (though most probably not half as complete as Thor, self-documentation should definitely be a first-class citizen!)
