Install SQL Server Docker Container on Linux

Install SQL Server Docker Container on Linux and Connect through Client Tools

I was surprised by ability to run setup and run SQL Server Docker container. It only takes about 2 commands and 2 Minutes.

$docker pull microsoft/mssql-server-linux
$docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=Password' -p 1433:1433 -d microsoft/mssql-server-linux
$docker exec -it 40dd "bash"

Persisted Volume:

Install Docker with Host Volume
So the Volume is persisted.

#Throws error
docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=<YourStrong!Passw0rd>' -p 1433:1433 -v <host directory>:/var/opt/mssql -d microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-latest

docker: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "exec: \"-v\": executable file not found in $PATH".

This will work
sudo docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=Str0nPassword'  -v '/HostDir/Database:/var/opt/mssql'   -p 1433:1433 --name SQLServer    -d microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-latest

Backup Database on Docker Container and Copy to Host:

Connect to SQL Server Management Studio or SQLCMD and issue the backup command

 BACKUP DATABASE H1BData_V2
 TO DISK ='/var/opt/mssql/data/SalaryDatabase_V2_06132017.bak'

Copy the file from Container to Host and Sync with S3 Bucket

$ docker cp <containerId>:/file/path/within/container /host/path/target

$ docker cp aabb19ca439f:/var/opt/mssql/data/SalaryDatabase_06132017.bak /Docker/

$ aws s3 sync ./ s3://docker-backups

upload: ./SalaryDatabase_06132017.bak  to s3://docker-backups/SalaryDatabase_06132017.bak

Completed 18.4 GiB/25.8 GiB (46.4 MiB/s) with 1 file(s) remaining
