====== Windows running in a docker container ====== This video by Wolfgang demonstrates how to run a Windows operating system inside a Docker container — a creative and unconventional technical experiment. ==== Overview ==== Wolfgang explores whether it's possible to launch a full Windows environment within a Linux-based Docker container. Since Docker is primarily designed for Linux containers, this setup is more of a proof-of-concept than a practical solution. ==== Key Components ==== * Uses the unofficial `dockur/windows` image by Kroese * Based on a modified Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment) * Virtualization handled via QEMU * GUI access provided through VNC (Remote Desktop) ==== Performance and Limitations ==== * Limited performance due to emulation * Not suitable for production use * Best used for experimentation or educational purposes ==== Conclusion ==== Running Windows in Docker is a fascinating hack that showcases Docker’s flexibility. While not practical for everyday use, it’s a fun and educational project for developers and tech enthusiasts. ~~DISCUSSION~~
