How do I resolve a "docker: invalid reference format" error when installing Azure SQL Edge on an M1 Mac?

Question

I've been trying to install Azure SQL Edge using Docker on my M1 MacBook using this guide and I'm not able to run the following command:

docker run -d — name MySQLServer -e ‘ACCEPT_EULA=Y’ -e ‘SA_PASSWORD=your_password123’ -p 1433:1433 mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sql-edge

Because of this error:

docker: invalid reference format

How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

I had the exact same issue and used the same documentation. I was able to fix it by typing the command instead of copy pasting

docker run -d --name MySQLServer -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=yourpassword' -p 1433:1433 mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sql-edge
