    I am not sure you will get that to work from a Docker container.

    But here is the process needed to make Business Central use Azure SQL

    docs.microsoft.com/.../deploy-database-azure-sql-database

    I recommend you use SQL express for your Docker containers instead.

    Are you using the BCContainer helper ?

    Try using the New-BcContainerWizard

    freddysblog.com/.../

    www.sauravdhyani.com/.../how-can-i-create-docker-container-using.html

    That will ask you where you want your database located or if you want to use an existing database.

    And you do not get any errors when that is executed?

    Maybe you can show the script that the BcContainer wizards generates?
