Docker
As we know that docker is container management tool which uses client server architecture.
It helps to build the applications, distribute it and run those applications into a docker container.

Today we are going to check how to install Docker Toolbox on Mac.
When you Mac OS is old and does not meet the requirements of Docker Desktop for Mac, the alternate solution is Docker Toolbox.
Docker Toolbox contains following important tools:
- Docker CLI docker binary : It helps to run Docker Engine to create images & containers.
- Docker Machine : It helps to run Docker Engine commands ( macOS terminal )
- Docker Compose : It helps to run docker-compose commands.
- Kinematic : It helps to automate docker installation.
- Docker Quick start Terminal App : It is a Docker command-line terminal.
- Oracle VirtualBox : Used to create Linux local machine.
To install Docke Toolbox on Mac following are few steps to be followed:
Verify the Mac OS Version :
Go to the option – About this Mac and check the MacOS version.
If your macOS version is 10.13.0 or higher then you can install Docker Desktop for MAC.

Step 10 : Now to launch the Docker Quick start Terminal – go to finder and search the tools.
Step 11 : Click on the Docker Quickstart Terminal to launch the terminal.
We can get the following error popup.
We can get the following error popup.
We have to give permission to both tool for app accessibility.
- Go to the System Preferences / Privacy / Accessibility and Click on Lock icon.
- Select the Docker Quickstart terminal.
- Enter the credentials and Unlock the Lock.
Step 12: Now Click on the Docker Quickstart terminal tool. Terminal window will get launched and perform few configuration steps. Wait to complete it.
Once all is configured you will get similar screen on the Terminal.
docker will get configured and will start docker machine with IP – 192.168.99.100
Once all is configured you will get similar screen on the Terminal.
docker will get configured and will start docker machine with IP – 192.168.99.100
Step 13 : Check the docker version with following command : docker-machine version
You should get similar out put in the docker terminal screen.
You should get similar out put in the docker terminal screen.
Step 14 : Check the docker compose version with following command : docker-compose version
You should get similar out put in the docker terminal screen.
You should get similar out put in the docker terminal screen.
Step 15 : Run Docker “Hello World”
Type command : docker run hello-world
Note : Make sure you are connected to internet – as it will pull the hello-world image from docker-hub.
Docker Hub – Docker hub is a repository service which helps us to find and share the docker images.
If all these steps work properly and hello world image runs properly then it means docker installation is properly working on your mac.

Since the release of .NET Core 1.0 in 2014, .NET developers have no longer been confined to development on Windows. Yet I am still surprised by how many people don't realise that .NET Core is cross-platform!
I develop all my .NET code, from web apps to Azure Functions, on macOS and with SQL server being a large part of developing with .NET, I wanted to share how I use it on macOS.
We will use a Docker container to host SQL server, which means this technique could also be used on Windows and Linux and not just macOS.
If you would like to see a full integration of Twilio APIs in a .NET Core application then checkout this free 5-part video series I created. It's separate from this blog post tutorial but will give you a full run down of many APIs at once.
Getting Started with Docker
To get started we will need to download Docker for Mac and follow the installation instructions.
Once installed, the first thing we will need to do is increase Docker's default memory allocation as SQL Server will require a bit more grunt.
Click on the Docker daemon icon in the top menu and select 'Preferences'.
Next, choose the 'Resources' tab, note - on some versions of Docker you may find it under the 'Advanced' tab, and adjust the memory slider to be at least 4GB. Then click 'Apply and Restart'
Downloading and running SQL Server
We can download and run the SQL Server image all at once by running the following command in the terminal.
There are several parameters in the above command, so let's take a closer look at each one.
Docker For Windows 10
-d
will launch the container in 'detached' mode and is optional. This means that containers will run in the background and you can close the terminal window.--name sql_server
will assign a name to the container and is optional, but recommended for easier management!-e
will allow you to set environment variables:'ACCEPT_EULA=Y'
SQL Server requires the user to accept the 'End User Licence Agreement' or EULA. TheY
here indicates acceptance.'SA_PASSWORD=someThingComplicated1234'
is a required parameter for SQL Server. This is the System Administrator password. See the note below on password strength.
-p 1433:1433
will map the local port 1433 to port 1433 on the container. Port 1433 is the default TCP port that SQL Server will listen on.- mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest is the image we wish to run. I have used the latest version of 2019, however, if you need a different version you can check out the Microsoft SQL Server page on Docker Hub.
For more information on docker runcommands, check out the documentation.
Note on Password Strength
If you find your image starts but then immediately stops or you get an error such as setup failed with error code 1`, then it may be you haven't created a strong enough password. SQL Server really means it when it requests a strong password. Ensure good length with a mixture of upper and lower case, and a mix of alphanumeric characters. For more information on password requirements take a look at the Microsoft documentation.
Using the SQL CLI tool
The SQL CLI tool is a convenient command-line tool for querying SQL databases and is cross-platform. It's also really useful for checking to see if the above worked!
To install it, run the following command in the terminal:
Where
someThingComplicated1234
is your password.You should receive a response similar to below:
Azure Data Studio
Another hurdle with using SQL Server on macOS is the lack of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), a software tool that is used for configuring, managing, and administering all components within Microsoft SQL Server. It includes scripting tools for creating and running queries and graphical tools for use with objects and features within SQL Server.
However, Azure Data Studio has got you covered.
Click the 'New connection' link and enter
localhost
for the 'Server' input, sa
for the 'User name' input, and then your password for the 'Password' input.The other inputs are optional.
Once you've logged in you should have a view similar to the one below, with all the databases on the server listed.
The connection string
To use the database within code, the connection string will look like this, with the database name substituted for
DB_NAME

Cross platform-ness
Although I have targeted everything in this blog towards macOS, there is no reason why you couldn't run your SQL Server instance within Docker on Windows or Linux.
If you have any tips and tricks for cross-platform development with .NET Core, then I would love to hear from you!
