Hey everyone, I'm new to Docker and I'm wondering if I can run an MS SQL Server database inside a Docker container on my Terramaster NAS. I currently have MS SQL Server Developer 2022 installed on my desktop, but I'm curious if there's a way to manage an SQL database via Docker. I'd really like to use SQL Server Management Studio for this, but I'm open to other alternatives if necessary. Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's definitely possible to run MS SQL Server in a Docker container! You can check out the official Microsoft SQL Server image on Docker Hub. Most SQL servers like MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL are commonly used in Docker, and SQL Server can be managed similarly. Just make sure you connect SQL Server Management Studio to the correct IP address and port of your Docker container.
Absolutely! In fact, the original Bitwarden Docker setup runs a MSSQL container, so it shows it can definitely be done. You might want to check if your setup involves Bitwarden, but even if it doesn't, running SQL Server in Docker on your NAS can work without a hitch!

How can I tell if I have access to the Bitwarden setup? I haven't installed anything yet; the description just mentions it's from Docker Inc. and issued by TerraMaster.
