How to integrate this to MS Sql container

[chkm8]

Hi, I was searching for a administrative tool for ms sql docker container and I saw your container for squirrel, I would like to ask to the steps to make this working and link to a ms sql server container. Thanks

@chkm8 this Squirrel image is bare bones, i.e. it contains few drivers and no configuration.

If you need additional drivers, you do so you need to configure them manually. If you're using the provided script it'll save Squirrel's configuration in your home directory, so the configuration will be available in later runs.

Once you have the proper drivers configured, it's just a matter of creating the connection in Squirrel regularly, but you need to figure out the address to your MS SQL server container. It depends on how you're doing networking, e.g. if you're doing nothing fancy you can find the container's IPAddress running docker inspect <container name or id> | grep IPAddress and using it in Squirrels connection configuration. The IP may change on different runs of your database container so you need to watch out for that.
