With the -e option you set an environment variable, on which SQL Server is dependent on.

Let’s run our Docker Image with the docker run command:ĭocker run -e ‘ACCEPT_EULA=Y’ -e ‘SA_PASSWORD=passw0rd1!’ -p 1433:1433 –name sql2019_ctp2 -d /mssql/server:vNext-CTP2.0-ubuntuĪs you can see from the command line, you have to pass in a lot of different parameters. And that creates the actual Docker Container, which is finally the exectuable that you are executing. In Docker you can “install” an image by running it. Therefore we also have to “install” the pulled Docker Image.

You can think about a Docker Image like an ISO file: it’s just an image, and you can’t run it directly, because you have to install it. When you have pulled the image, you can see it with the docker images command in your Terminal: In my case I have decided to try out the latest CTP version of SQL Server 2019:ĭocker pull /mssql/server:2019-CTP2.1-ubuntu

I don’t want to go into the details how to install Docker itself, because the necessary steps are very well documented.īefore you can create a Docker Container for SQL Server, you have to pull the correct Docker Image from the Docker Registry. Installing SQL Server in a Docker Containerīefore you can install SQL Server in a Docker Container on the Mac, you have to install and configure of course Docker itself. In this blog posting I want to show you how you can do the same and run SQL Server directly on your Mac in a Docker container.

Because now I can run SQL Server 2017+ directly on my Mac and I even don’t really need a Windows VM anymore.

Therefore running natively on MacOS was not a big deal for me, and for the last resort I always have a Windows VM which runs in VMware Fusion on my Mac.īut since the introduction of the Container concept through Docker and the possibility to run SQL Server directly in a Container, my life was changing even better.

How can I be that stupid to work on MacOS when I’m dependent on SQL Server? In my case it wasn’t that terrible, because my main work is about content creation (writing blog postings, articles, presentations, training videos) and very often I was only connecting through a RDP connection to a remote SQL Server. It all depends on whether you expect SQL Server to actually run on macOS, or if you just want to do most of your work there.Years ago when I switched from Windows to Mac, people have told me regularily that I’m crazy. VS Code, Visual Studio, and Azure Data Studio now run natively on the Mac, so that can work for you too in some scenarios. With SQL Server 2017, you can run SQL Server on Linux, and can even host your own docker container without using Windows at all (I am doing this on my Macs right now - and I wrote about it here). There is also an IDE from JetBrains called DataGrip and I'm sure others I don't know about. You can also, of course, RDP to other machines, use SSMS equivalent clients to connect to another SQL Server running on Windows elsewhere, or install a different platform on the Mac ( such as PostgreSQL). (I haven't tested the latter recently, but last time I tried, it was a disaster - gets great reviews as a VM host on Windows, but not very stable on the Mac.)

Otherwise you will need to install virtualization software of some sort, where you install Windows in a VM, and install SQL Server there - I use Parallels Desktop, but there is also VMWare Fusion and Oracle VirtualBox. No, SQL Server will not run on macOS (it can run on Apple hardware, if you use Boot Camp and boot natively to Windows).
