Trying to use octobercms with laradoc & mssql

I apologize for creating another thread about the same issue, but still trying to use octobercms with docker

since I was having trouble with the official octobercms image, because of the need to use mssql, I decided to use laradocs, which comes with an mssql service

I install laradocs in the project, but when I try to install octobercms, when it reaches the database step, and I chose mssql as the prefered database, I get ‘Connection failed: could not find driver’

Is this because the images for mssql and the image for php-fpm are separate from each other?

is there a solution to this?

I have managed to move forward, i managed to get the mssql drivers to work, but i get a timeout when running the october:install command

[ERROR] Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HYT00]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired```
 im wondering if my settings are wrong in the .env

october .env 

DB_CONNECTION=sqlsrv
DB_HOST=mssql
DB_PORT=1433
DB_DATABASE=mssql
DB_USERNAME=laradock
DB_PASSWORD=“mssql”


not sure what the username is supposed to be 

laradock .env:

MSSQL_DATABASE=mssql
MSSQL_PASSWORD=“mssql”
MSSQL_PORT=1433
