@EbieCAS First, i would recommend NOT using that older hortonworks docker.   Check out this article with more recent method to run nifi in docker from apache nifi community:

https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Community-Articles/NiFi-cluster-sandbox-on-Docker/ta-p/346271

Second, jump into the community search bar above, search for "nifi docker" and have a look at quite a few posts with various solutions.     There is a lot to learn here with examples and feedback from some of our best community members.

Third, be mindful of docker basics for networking, port forwarding, etc as you approach connecting the nifi flow to external MSSQL.

Last but not least,  once you have progress on your flow, and/or if you have more issues or specific questions make a new post for those.  Be sure to include details about your flow, what you have tried, what works, what does not, etc.  Take screen shots so configurations, details on errors, etc.
