Running Linux and Windows Containers side-by-side: Can't launch microsoft/mssql-server-linux:latest

[gischethans]

I am running Docker CE (key details of docker info below) and was all excited to see the new ability to run Linux and Windows Containers side-by-side.

However, when I try to run mssql-server-linux container, it exits almost instantaneously with exit code 1. Docker logs command indicates this -

sqlservr: This program requires a machine with at least 2000 megabytes of memory.

By default, my Docker is in Windows mode and I have tried switching to Linux containers mode and increasing the memory to 8 GB and the number of cores to four but that isn't helping. How to resolve this?

I made a docker image that works around this memory (limitation) policy: https://github.com/justin2004/mssql_server_tiny

@dnzhnshn this will allow you to run mssql-docker on a host with less than 2000 MB of RAM:

docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=yourStrong(!)Password' -p 1433:1433 -d justin2004/mssql_server_tiny

what happens if you run this:

docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=yourStrong(!)Password' -p 1433:1433 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server

docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=yourStrong(!)Password' -p 1433:1433 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server

[leonicolas]

Is there any fixes for this issue?

@leonicolas a workaround is here: https://github.com/justin2004/mssql_server_tiny

Have you tried setting the memory limit to something higher than 2000MB with the option -m 4g or --memory 4g?

docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=yourStrong(!)Password' -p 1433:1433 --platform linux -m 4g -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server

In a docker-compose file the same can be achieved by setting a resource constraint.
