SQL Server On Docker: In this article will show you, how to install Microsoft SQL Server on docker (Image). This is very easy and simple to do it, also I have shown will complete videos guide which you will find in the article at the bottom of the page. 

Getting Started Checklist

• Ensure you have Docker Engine 1.8 or newer on any Linux distribution that’s supported. For setup details, check out Install Docker. 
• For the scoop on what hardware and processors are needed, peek at SQL Server 2022: Hardware and software requirements 
• Make sure you’re using the Docker overlay2 storage driver, it’s usually the go-to for most. If you need to switch, there’s guidance and heads-ups at Docker documentation for configuring overlay2. 
• Grab the latest updates for your Docker host from 
• Have at least 2 GB of disk space ready. 
• Don’t forget, you’ll need at least 2 GB of RAM as well. 
• Check out System requirements for SQL Server on Linux for more on system needs. 

SQL Server On Docker

Step 1: Hope you have went to this below link and have downloaded Docker on your machine (Windows/Mac/Linux) 

Step 2: Open and install the Docker setup file and you can see in the below image 

Step 3: Open the Docker application and go to terminal at the bottom of the Docker application 

Step 4: Run this below command in this terminal to get the Microsoft SQL Server On Docker. For more about 4^th and 5^th step please click on this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/quickstart-install-connect-docker?view=sql-server-ver16&tabs=cli&pivots=cs1-bash

docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest 

Step 5: Now we have to put his image into container to make use of this and run the MS SQL Server to query the database. 

docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=Password123!" -p 1433:1433 --name sql1 --hostname sql1 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest 

Step 6: Now our Microsoft SQL Server On Docker is up and running. You can use any of visual tool to query the database like SSMS, Azure Data Studio and Visual Studio Code (MSSQL Extension). 

In my case I am going to use Azure Data Studio to connect to SQL Server which is hosted on Docker Container. 

Step 7: Download and install azure data studio from this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-data-studio/download-azure-data-studio?tabs=win-install%2Cwin-user-install%2Credhat-install%2Cwindows-uninstall%2Credhat-uninstall 

Step 8: Open studio and click on connection on the top first option. Create new connection and give the value as mentioned below 

Step 9: Now we are good to use our Microsoft SQL Server On Docker to query or create new database.
