With the announcement of SQL Server 2017 last week came the updated microsoft/mssql-server-linux and microsoft/mssql-server-windows* docker images.
By default if you do a docker pull without a tag you will pull down the latest however with these new docker images this no longer works:
You get the error:
Error response from daemon: manifest for microsoft/mssql-server-linux:latest not found
I found this a bit strange so went onto the docker hub searching for microsoft/mssql images and see if they actually did exist:
SQL on Linux is what I was after and you can see from the image above it does exist but taking a close look at the tags tab you can see that they have now amended the tags to be microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-GA and microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-latest.
NOTE: The windows docker images still have the “latest” tag available
Now, if we run docker pull with the 2017-GA or 2017-latest tag it will grab it:
docker pull microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-GA
Obviously I have already done this and the image is up to date 🙂
Time to update all my demo scripts 😦
