Repro Steps

1. Pull the 2025-latest SQL Server Docker image.
2. Create and run a container (via automation or manually).
3. Observe the container fails during initialization.

Notes

• The same setup works correctly when using the 2025-CTP2.0 tag.
• We suspect a regression in the latest image or an entrypoint script issue.
• This is currently blocking our customers from using local container scenarios.

I tried deploying the container with 2025-latest tag it appears to be working,
podman run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=" -p 14334:1433 --name sql25 --hostname sql25 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2025-latest
podman ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

Can you share what command were you running please?

I am also seeing this issue. Works fine in docker desktop but on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS I am seeing an error similar to what has been shared above. From what I could tell inspecting my failed container there was problems creating the data folder and its files

I'm also seeing this issue on my M1 Mac. It works on Windows.

Hi @amitkh-msft,

We’ve identified the root cause. On M-based MacBook Pros, the SQL Server 2025 CTP2.1 image is failing to run (error details shared above). This image is referenced by the following tags:

• 2025-CTP2.1-ubuntu-22.0
• 2025-latest
• latest
• latest-ubuntu

All of these tags point to the same build:
mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server@sha256:2b41d0be82839692f678a709e8b7dd6106ee4776b0e…

Note on SQL 2022:
There’s also a known transient issue with SQL 2022 images:
Current 2022-latest image fails on macOS ARM under Rosetta · Issue #929 · microsoft/mssql-docker

Last week this image was failing for me (and for other M-based MacBook Pro users), but it’s working again this week without any changes on our side—suggesting the problem may be transient or due to upstream changes.
