appwrite on windows sever

[brisk token]

Install docker desktop
Set it to work with WSL2 (suppose to be the default)
Then the rest of the process is the same

As @brisk token mentioned, WSL2 is required to install doceker on windows machine, attaching link here: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/

Is there a way to do this with Windows Server 2019 which do not have WSL2 Support?

It's best to create a new post instead of posting in an old thread by someone else

Docker Desktop would not be possible on Windows Server 2019, but you can install the Docker Engine and use it

Yes I did that but then I get the error that there is no windows/arm64 manifest

PS C:\Windows\system32> docker run -it --rm `
>>     --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock `
>>     --volume ${pwd}/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw `
>>     --entrypoint="install" `
>>     appwrite/appwrite:1.3.8

docker: no matching manifest for windows/amd64 10.0.19045 in the manifest list entries.
See 'docker run --help'.

I guess that with docker desktop it uses the underlying wsl2, but even with an ubuntu installed on the machine it does still throw the same error.

Will do that 🤝

You'll need to switch to the Linux containers mode

Here's how you can do that

I've tried this and screwed my whole docker 😂 I'll try again...

[grim briar]

Go for it 😆 👍
