Docker - MSSQL 2017
Nov 5, 2018

Microsoft has released MSSQL for Linux and they even released a docker container for it. This makes things pretty straight forward to get running.

There are some issues with ZFS datasets because ZFS does not support O_DIRECT. There’s a hack to get it working but it did not for me. It works fine with ext4 though.

  1. Download the container.
    • docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-GA-ubuntu
  2. Configure the systemd server. Change your SA password and the persistent database path (mine is /mnt/db).
    • /etc/systemd/system/mssql.service ``` [Unit] Description=MSSQL After=docker.service Requires=docker.service

[Service] Restart=always ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-GA-ubuntu ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run –rm -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -e SA_PASSWORD=PASSWORD -e MSSQL_PID=Express -p 1433:1433 –name mssql -v /mnt/db:/var/opt/mssql mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-GA-ubuntu ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop mssql

[Install] WantedBy=local.target ```

Use a Windows PC to access the database using SQL Server Management Studio.
