This is a repo I created to run an (docker) instance of Microsoft SQL Server for testing purposes.

• Requires Docker Engine 1.8, 2GB of hard disk space and 2GB of RAM (1)

1. Pull the repo
2. Edit the docker-compose.yaml file to change the default SA_PASSWORD value, YourSecretPa$$W0rD
3. Make the pre-init.sh script executable, chmod +x pre-init.sh
4. Run the pre-init.sh script to download the backup file(s), ./pre-init.sh
5. Run docker-compose up in the local directory to create and spin up the container. Assuming there are no errors, and you see exited with code 0 you can re-run docker-compose up -d to start the container silently.
