Explains running SQL Server Linux images with Docker and Dockerfile custom images, shows copying a .bak into /var/opt/mssql, restoring inside the container and querying on mapped port 1401, and demonstrates updating from CU6 to CU8 by stopping one container and starting another pointed at the same host volume so databases persist — the switch method for “patching” that allows instant rollback, plus pointers to Azure DevOps automation and Kubernetes-ready nonroot images.
