If their deb packages are not certified for debian (only ubuntu), do not attempt to use these as you might end up with an unfixable frankendebian. Installing as a docker image should apply to any linux distro and is probably your best bet. On debian the docker package is called "docker.io".

Do you truly need the Microsoft SQL, or can you use one of the several sql database alternatives already in the repositories, such as mariadb?

This how-to claims that MS SQL will work on Debian: https://gist.github.com/alphaolomi/8cac ... 1a0b5d6391
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing
