Docker Ubuntu 18.04 unable to install msodbcsql17 SQL Server ODBC Driver 17

Question

I have the below ubuntu docker file to which I want to add SQL Server ODBC Driver 17 for installation. When I build the docker file, I am getting an error: '/bin/sh -c apt-get install msodbcsql17' returned a non-zero code: 1

Could you please help?

I am referring to the article - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15

I followed the steps in the article in my Ubuntu VM and it works fine and I am able to run my python programs. However, when I use the docker file I get the error

FROM ubuntu:18.04

RUN apt update -y  &&  apt upgrade -y && apt-get update 
RUN apt install -y curl python3.7 git python3-pip openjdk-8-jdk unixodbc-dev
