Setting up a MSSQL server on a Parrot OS (or any Linux distribution) involves a series of steps. Here’s a basic guide to help you get started. Note that you’ll need to adapt some steps based on your specific use case and requirements:

  1. Install Docker (if not already installed):

bashCopy code

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
  1. Pull the MSSQL Docker Image:

bashCopy code

sudo docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server
  1. Run the MSSQL Docker Container:

bashCopy code

sudo docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=Your_Password' -p 1433:1433 --name sql_server_container -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server

Replace Your_Password with a strong password for the SA (System Administrator) account.
4. Access the MSSQL Server:

  • Connect to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or any other SQL client.
  • Server: localhost,1433
  • Authentication: SQL Server Authentication
  • Username: sa
  • Password: (Use the password you set in step 3)

That’s it! You should now have a MSSQL server running on your Parrot OS. Adjust the steps as needed for your specific environment and requirements.

Keep in mind that using strong and unique passwords, especially for the SA account, is crucial for security. Additionally, consider firewall and security configurations based on your deployment environment.
