Hello Perry,Thanks for sharing this blog. I had a quick question. I wanted to check through the setup whether I could add an existing sql server data and log files to container instead of mounting? Would that require changes to the docker file through Docker add?- Anonymous

Please take a look at the following section that describes how you can attach existing .mdf and .ldf files.https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/tree/master/samples/manage/windows-containers/mssql-server-2014-express-windows#run-this-sampleThanks, Perry

If I understand the issue correctly, you are using a Linux host to pull this image - [Please let me know if this is not the case]. Note that this is a Windows Server Core docker image that requires Windows Server Core TP5 v10.0.14300.1030 and will not work on Linux. I highly recommend to can take a look at SQL on Linux and sign up for the private preview by using the link below: SQL Server On Linux:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/sql-server-on-linux

Hi Mike - Although, this should work on Windows 10 AU and newer builds, we highly recommend to move to SQL Server 2016. You can find the latest version of the microsoft/mssql-server-windows-express image here: https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-windows-express/
