#Running harvest on windows

I have a client that would prefer to install and their harvest/grafana on a windows environment. I'm aware that there is no documentation, support information, or releases for windows. I know that GO can be used on windows but that doesn't necessarily mean that this will work. I personally don't like the idea, but I know that what I like doesn't really matter in this instance.

Does anyone have any experience running harvest on windows? Are there any pointers anyone can give me for getting this going? Any pitfalls to be aware of, aside from the obvious of it being on windows.

I haven't set it up recently, but we did have it setup on our dev environment as a container
You can use docker/K8/etc under windows, or you can use WSL on windows and run it in there

@lucid spade Supporting windows will require changes in the way we handle process management in Harvest and some other things. It will not be straight forward. As @prime lantern suggested container or WSL are the options for windows. We have not tried WSL.
