How do you connect to a SQL Server database on a host (or even in the cloud, as in off the local network) from a windows server-based container? I've tried using 

docker run --net="nat" ...

and 

docker run --net="host" ...

to no avail. Using -p does not seem relevant as I want to container to talk to the SQL Server database not running in a container.
I'm not sure how a custom network bridge can work here but I'm open to trying.

  • The default network should allow connecting to a remote host. Have you tested connectivity from the running container, e.g. `docker exec -it your-container cmd /C"ping "`? – Dan Guzman Feb 03 '19 at 19:56
