$Quick install of SQL SERVER Running on Linux in Docker Today we will install #SQLServer from #microsoft on our beloved #linux using a docker image from Microsoft. This is a super quick and painless way of installing a SQL server instance. Look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-configure-environment-variables?view=sql-server-ver16 for mor configuration parameters. I noticed now that SA_PASWORD is deprecated and is no MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD that’s one of the things I loathe about Microsoft. They keep changing public interfaces instead of doing it right the first time. #compose.yml file (note that here we explicitly set the license to Developer (check gthe #documentation for your license! services: sqlserver: image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest container_name: sqlserver ports: - 1433:1433 restart: unless-stopped environment: MSSQL_PID: Developer SA_PASSWORD: ${SA_PASSWORD} ACCEPT_EULA: Y volumes: - sql_db_1:/var/opt/mssql volumes: sql_db_1: run_sql.sh #!/bin/bash #The line below can help when azure authenticatio in browser doesnt work automatically #It will ask you to surf to a url and enter the provided code (this always works) #az login use-device-code only-show-errors az login only-show-errors PASSWORD=$(az keyvault secret show name $1 vault-name $2 query value -o tsv) SA_PASSWORD=$PASSWORD docker-compose up -d run.sh #!/bin/bash ./run_sql.sh your_secretname your_keyvault _name$
