appwrite on windows sever

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

https://appwrite.io/docs/installation#windows

As @Binyamin 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 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=dockerce#windows-server-1

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

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 https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-run-docker-containers-on-windows-server-2019/#:~:text=Step%204%3A%20Running%20Linux%20Containers

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

Go for it 😆 👍

You can use something like portainer instead of docker desktop too
