I wish I had checked whether Docker runs on Windows sooner - Lemmy Today

Mini-rant / duh-moment, just had to get this out because I hate that I waited so long. For context, I’ve been working with Docker since 2014, and back then it was Linux or nothing. Which didn’t really matter to me because I only used Docker and Linux at work. And I’ve only recently started self-hosting stuff on my home PC, but it’s running Windows, so I’m using the old-school method of clone > build > run. Which, for most projects, works surprisingly well. But now I wanted to spin up a new service where that method didn’t work, apparently it doesn’t support newer NodeJS versions? But I thought fuck, I want this. And the only other way was Docker. Lo and behold Docker just runs perfectly fine on Windows now? I know I may be extremely late to the party lmao. Anyway I just deployed 2 new services in 2 minutes and it feels so good. Also yes I just rember’d that nvm exists xD so I am REALLY happy I forgor about that. Wish I hadn’t been so stuck in my ways. Looking forward to installing 1000 more services now hehe. Rant over. Adios!
