Command line BACPACs to Docker SQL Server instances

A quick walkthrough of creating a Docker SQL instance, pushing data to it, taking a backup from the host command line (using BACPAC format) and pushing that data to a new instance. This made me feel a bit more confident working with SQL from the command line, and especially working with backups, which should make scripting these actions a bit easier.

Using Docker Playground to Run Solr

Recently, I wanted to run through some Solr documentation, and I wanted a clean Solr instance with demo contents. I was able to do this pretty cleanly on the Play with Docker site (requires a free Docker account).  

Here are the steps:

Go to Play with Docker: https://labs.play-with-docker.com/

Click Add New Instance.

ERROR: for traefik  Container "5530f939e540" is unhealthy.
