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 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.
