genschsa/mssql-server-linux repository overview

⁠genschsa/mssql-server-linux

This is the git repo of the custom genschsa/mssql-server-linux⁠ Docker image.

This image is an extension of the official microsoft/mssql-server-linux⁠ Docker image

It adds functionality to initialize a fresh instance. When a container is started for the first time, it will execute any files with extensions .sh or .sql that are found in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. Files will be executed in alphabetical order. You can easily populate your SQL Server services by mounting scripts into that directory and provide custom images with contributed data.

⁠Running this image

docker run -p 1433:1433 --name mssql -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=Strong(!)Password' -v $PWD/initdb.d:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d -d genschsa/mssql-server-linux

⁠Additional information:

• Linux-based mssql-docker git repo⁠
• Running SQL Server on Linux⁠ on top of an Ubuntu 16.04 base image.
• Note that the version 2017-CU3 currently (as of Feb. 15, 2018) has a bug described here: https://github.com/Microsoft/mssql-docker/issues/136⁠
• Make sure that the .sh files have UNIX-style (LF) line endings. Depending on your platform and Git configuration, Git may change them to Windows-style (CR+LF). In this case, the container won't start, and you may see a non-informative error message like:

standard_init_linux.go:195: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"'.
