Description

When trying to startup sql-server I get this error. Is the log only contained in the docker container?

$ docker run -p 1433:1433 -t  -e SA_PASSWORD='<password>' -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y microsoft/mssql-server-linux
Configuring Microsoft(R) SQL Server(R)...
Microsoft(R) SQL Server(R) setup failed with error code 1. Please check the setup log in /var/opt/mssql/log for more information.

But while in the container... The mssql folder is not there!

root@bdd24ed25e8b:/var/opt# ls

Research direction

Reproduce the failure using the documented docker run command on macOS, then inspect the container's /var/opt/mssql/log path and compare it with the empty /var/opt listing shown. Determine why setup exits with error code 1 and where the setup log can be retrieved; done means the startup cause and log location are clearly documented.
