Docker

(Experimental)

There is a pymssql Docker image on the Docker Registry at:

https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/pymssql/pymssql/

The image bundles:

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty)
• Python 2.7.6
• pymssql 2.1.2.dev
• FreeTDS 0.91
• SQLAlchemy 0.9.8
• Alembic 0.7.4
• Pandas 0.15.2
• Numpy 1.9.1
• IPython 2.3.1

To try it, first download the image (this requires Internet access and could take a while):

docker pull pymssql/pymssql

Then run a Docker container using the image with:

docker run -it --rm pymssql/pymssql

By default, if no command is specified, an IPython shell is invoked. You can override the command if you wish – e.g.:

docker run -it --rm pymssql/pymssql bin/bash

Here’s how using the Docker container looks in practice:

$ docker pull pymssql/pymssql
...
$ docker run -it --rm pymssql/pymssql
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
