Help me build the required Docker image

I need a Docker image with Windows, MS SQL Server Express, and .NET 8.0.

You could start from here

https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-docker/blob/master/windows/mssql-server-windows-express/readme.md

Quote:

Note: The SQL Server Express on Windows image is not supported for production use. If you have a need to use SQL Server on Windows containers in production, please sign up for the Early Adoption Preview at https://aka.ms/sqleap

So if you manage to find an SQL server express image, you will need to find out how you can install .NET 8.0 in a Windows container from Powershell. Unfortunately the link above is broken, so I’m not sure where else to go.

Do you have any idea @vrapolinario

@qulac can you share more on the scenario here? The SQL team decided to focus on Linux based images for containerized SQL. The vast majority of Windows customers moved to managed SQL (such as Azure managed instances). There is a Linux based SQL Server image, though.

You didn’t specify the version of Windows you’re looking for, but the .Net team publishes images here: Microsoft Artifact Registry
