Installing MS SQL Server 2019 on Devuan Beowulf (~Debian 10)
As this systemd plague has also caught Debian, I’m mostly using Devuan for new servers now to have the normal SYSV-Init system I’m used to.
I already wrote an article on how to install MS SQL Server 2017 on Debian Jessie. Now here is a little Tutorial on how to install it on lates Devuan Beowulf:
I assume you are root and fixed the annoying Debian 10 su bug with:
echo "ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes" >/etc/default/su
apt-get install gnupg wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add - wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/mssql-server-2019.list | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-server.list wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/10/prod.list | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-client.list apt-get update apt-get install mssql-server /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup # Ignore error about failed systemctl start after setup vi /etc/init.d/mssql-server
# Insert script from http://hardwarefetish.com/781-ms-sql-server-2017-upstart-script
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mssql-server update-rc.d mssql-server defaults /etc/init.d/mssql-server start apt-get install mssql-tools unixodbc
Pretty straightforward. No more messing around with openssl lib like on Jessie.
