I used the official tutorial to create a default instance https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-ubuntu

but now I want to create a named-instance and can't find how to do that

    I wonder who downvotes questions about a *developer-only* preview that has more documentation in SO Docs than Microsoft's own docs site? It's definitely *not* an administration question - there are no administration tools available yet! – Panagiotis Kanavos Jan 17 '17 at 11:07

    Can you check the parameters of `sqlservr-setup` ? `apt-get install` only installs the package. Assuming this is implemented, the functionality should be available through `sqlservr-setup` – Panagiotis Kanavos Jan 17 '17 at 11:08
  • `sudo /opt/mssql/bin/sqlservr-setup --help Microsoft(R) SQL Server(R) Setup This utility helps configure Microsoft(R) SQL Server(R). Without options this tool will perform interactive configuration. Usage: sqlservr-setup [--help] [--accept-eula] [--reset-sa-password] [--set-sa-password] [--start-service] [--enable-service] [--stop-service] [--disable-service] Options: --help This help screen. --accept-eula Accept EULA ` – arielorvits Jan 17 '17 at 11:20
  • ` --reset-sa-password Reset SA password interactively --set-sa-password Set SA password from SA_PASSWORD environment variable --start-service Start the SQL Server service --enable-service Enable the SQL Server service to start at boot --stop-service Stop the SQL Server service --disable-service Disable the SQL Server service from starting at boot ` – arielorvits Jan 17 '17 at 11:21
  • @PanagiotisKanavos, I added the help of this command from the termainal. can't see any relevant config. should I search in other place? – arielorvits Jan 17 '17 at 11:22

SQL Server on Linux doesn't support the notion of "multi-instance", so there are no named instances on Linux.

You can see that its Windows only feature here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/work-with-multiple-versions-and-instances-of-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15
