Connect to local SQL Server Express database from inside minikube cluster - sql-server

Question

I'm trying to access my SQL Server Express database hosted on my local machine from inside a minikube pod. I tried to follow the idea describe on kubernetes official doc. While I am inspecting my container I found out that my application got crashed every time I am creating POD because the application is unable to connect to the local database.
This is my config:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: sqlserver-svc
spec:
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 1443
targetPort: 1433
===========================
apiVersion: v1
kind: Endpoints
metadata:
name: sqlserver-svc
subsets:
- addresses:
- ip: 192.168.0.101
ports:
- port: 1433
======== Application container ==========
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod # object type -> that will reside kubernetes cluster
metadata:
name: api-pod
labels:
component: web
spec:
containers:
- name: api
image: nayan2/simptekapi
ports:
- containerPort: 5000
env:
- name: DATABASE_HOST
value: "sqlserver-svc:1443\\SQLEXPRESS"
- name: DATABASE_PORT
value: '1433'
- name: DATABASE_USER
value: sa
- name: DATABASE_PW
value: 1234
- name: JWT_SECRET
value: sec
- name: NODE_ENV
value: production
================================
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: api-node-port
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 4200
targetPort: 5000
nodePort: 31515
selector:
component: web
It is obvious that I am doing something wrong. I am relatively new with docker/container and Kubernetes technology. Still learning. Can anybody help me with this??
