Run SQL Server in Docker!

Learn how to run an instance of SQL Server in a Docker Container.
This is a great way to run and test applications against a local database. Try out all your changes locally before going to dev, test or production!

#docker #sql #programming

Add volumes to persist your data, even if you delete the docker container!

Documentation for volumes and persisting data:

Deploying to a vps using docker is so differs from classic hosting. Thank you much for enlightning this things. My gratitude knows no bounds

[DutVa]

The bit about adding a path to the local folders to make sure the data isn't wiped when the container is removed was invaluable - this helped me get mssql running on Synology NAS

Thank you, ive never come across this channel before this is my first time, but from what i seen so far your teaching skills are nice, a short very explanatory video that gave me exactly what i requested for within few minutes . Thanks

[mohammedzyarah]

Clear and easy within short time, great stuff, thanks a lot

[nikolinavukovic]

Great video, thanks for explaining it so clearly!

Would be nice another video describing how to use certificates to access sql server on docker (Linux)

[ian_y]

Thanks for this video. I was having a problem configuring the mapped volume. Turns out I needed the "-d" parameter in the "docker run" command to be AFTER the "-v" parameters and not before. Then it worked 👍

[valeriy]

Great video! Thanks! My question is how do I allocate volumes if I decide to host my container let's say on Google Cloud?

Great tutorial in setting up and persisting sql server DBs locally. Will use that for development rather than using Azure Sql Servers to save a little money before publishing. Much thanks.

[danielschoedel]

Great video. I learned a lot about using containers and how the interact with SQL. thanks

[abdulsiyadnp]

Thankyou very much, especially the mentioning about Azure Data Studio, amazing stuff. Looking for a long time, for a clean, elegant tool.

Excellent instruction but how i can limit ram and memory usage in image . It alway use 70-80% ram ( i have 16gb ) . only find instruction for macos and linux

[felipecapelli]

Helped me a lot :) Thank you so much =D

[razblack]

pretty cool, didn't even think about mapping storage to persist the data :D

now, to elevate this... it would be great to utilize my visual studio database projects in the container build.. somehow.

[olafschermann]

Thank you for Azure Data Studio - didn’t know that…

[ali_kara]

Thanks for clear and useful informations :)

[infinite_s]

Don’t forget about post number, [port] after server name and also to trust the certificate

[shivaniKadali]

explination is good,
after creating the containers without using volumes when i created the table and delete the container but the data is still persisting. i followed the same process can anyone suggest me the solution for this whats the reason for this.

Great Video. The SQL container image from microsoft contains SQL Express version.
How would run a container with a Full SQL server version for a large corporate application?
Thank you
