Running SQL Server on DockHive

Smallest size

SQL Server needs at least a Micro HivePod (about $2 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing.

Runs in the background

SQL Server has no web page of its own. It runs in the background in its HivePod, where you can open a terminal and read its logs.

Set up at install

The install form asks for 3 settings before SQL Server starts, such as the details you sign in with. Everything else, including passwords other services need, is generated for you.

Your data and backups

SQL Server's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
