This parameter tells Docker to run this particular container as a Hyper-V container rather than a Windows container.

There is one more parameter here I didn’t use for my example: -isolation=hyperv The -env parameter is required for this particular image, and we can provide additional parameters, for example sa_password. In my case, I wanted to specify 1433 for the host as I want my external endpoints to access my database within the container using the default SQL port. If you don’t provide a port number for the host, Docker will assign a random port (between 3270) which will be mapped to the specified port number on the container. So the first part is for the host and the second part is for the container. For the above command, I’m creating a static mapping between port TCP:1433 of the host and TCP:1433 of the container. You can configure port mappings with the –d flag at container creation time or you can specify them later on. In this case, port mappings need to be created between containers and host. In NAT networks, each created container gets a private IP address (172.16.0.0./12) and accesses the outside world through NAT on the host. In container scenarios, there are several network topologies and one of the most used one is the NAT network. The -d flag detaches the created container to the background.
SQL SERVER 2016 EXPRESS FULL
First, let me show you the full command: docker run -d -p 1433:1433 -env sa_password=Password1* microsoft/mssql-server-2016-express-windows But along with Docker Run, we have to provide some additional parameters to customize and configure our SQL Server Express deployment. The Docker Run command is our friend here. Now we are ready to build a new container using this image. The downloaded SQL Server Express image includes everything we need in order to run SQL Server Express in containers. Pulling SQL Server Express image from DockerHub Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
SQL SERVER 2016 EXPRESS INSTALL
This provider will enable the container feature on your machine and install Docker-this will require a reboot. To install Docker we'll use the OneGet provider PowerShell module. To begin installing SQL Server in a Windows container, you need to prepare your host for the container feature. Therefore, this is not a basic question to which we can give an answer in one sentence. There are also some options to provide persistent volumes to containers. On the other hand, interest in stateful applications is growing, and people are looking at ways to leverage container technology for deploying stateful applications in order to improve bare metal efficiency. You can fire up hundreds of containers, do what you want, and then destroy them. Some say that only stateless applications make sense for container scenarios as they don’t care about data. The discussion about which applications are a good fit for containers has been running for a long time. The second question you may ask is whether running a database inside a container is a good idea or not.
SQL SERVER 2016 EXPRESS LICENSE
Microsoft is still looking for possible ways to license SQL Server hosted in containers.

The full edition of SQL Server, however, requires you to have licenses in place.
SQL SERVER 2016 EXPRESS FREE
Well, my answer would be "licensing issues." As you are probably aware, SQL Server Express is the free edition of SQL Server and does not create any licensing conflict in container scenarios. You may ask why they are offering only Express edition rather than full SQL Server. They also recently uploaded a SQL Server Express container image and made it publicly available on DockerHub. If you browse DockerHub for "Microsoft," you will find plenty of images ready to use. Microsoft is also doing a great job of contributing to communities and DockerHub. If you are familiar with Docker, you can keep on using it as before with native Docker commands, or you can chose our lovely PowerShell cmdlets for container tasks. Redmond didn’t only introduce the capability to run containers in Windows but also provided native Docker shell support. Microsoft also wants to be in this game and recently announced support for containers on Windows operating systems and Hyper-V VMs. Some people call it the next version of virtualization others think VMs and Containers have different use cases and it’s better to run them side-by-side.
