Answer 1

Following instruction of this site solved it for me on Windows Containers: https://www.sqlshack.com/sql-server-with-a-docker-container-on-windows-server-2016/ It was possible to connect to SQL Server instantly from SSMS.

Give it a try if this is also working on Linux containers with this command:

docker run --name mssqltrek-con1 -d -p 1433:1433 -e sa_password=My$eCurePwd123# -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y microsoft/mssql-server-windows-developer

After running this you can retrieve the correct ip with:

docker inspect -f "{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}" mssqltrek-con1
