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

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?

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

If you copy the command directly from the blog post you linked, it won't work because some of the symbols have been replaced.

Instead of an em-dash (—) in front of the name parameter, you need to use two hyphens (--) and instead of fancy single quotes (‘) around the ACCEPT_EULA and SA_PASSWORD environment variables, you need to use apostrophes (').

Here's a version with the replacements made:

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