Can the Server be launched on a Windows machine?

Its also on Windows. A prod go server isn't going to run on Windows.

Have you taken a look at Mono? The Windows servers aren't always required. There are definitely some caveats but it might be an option.

If you install an X server for Windows, yes.

I would not use Windows for servers.

No. But you can use your machine to run the tools which will connect to the server. You can do this with desktops, not only windows server. Try Computer Management on your machine.

Not if you're stuck using Windows as a server.

We run hundreds of GUI-less Windows Servers at our company. Works really well. On Azure.

Yes, will use a windows server next time too.

Some server software only runs on Windows.

If a user can't switch to another OS, you can run Windows Server. I run that in my home lab when I have to use a Windows based OS for certain scenarios.

I could (and indeed that was what we were originally planning when we decided to go with Mac Mini Servers), but I simply don't need to. I open the packaging, put Mono on it and it's ready for work. Why would I waste time with Windows Server if it's not needed?

Windows Server?

Windows Server?

cnbeuiwx | karma 88 | avg karma 1.38 · | 2012-05-11 19:47:23+00:00

The server was probably not running Windows.

mduerksen | karma 863 | avg karma 6.8 · | 2011-03-21 17:04:59+00:00

You'll have to restrict your servers to run Windows. That's something not everyone wants to do.

There is no publically available Windows Server Arm, no.

drcongo | karma 5478 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2023-08-16 14:05:59

Blows my mind that anyone would use Windows on a server.

rr808 | karma 2773 | avg karma 2.55 · | 2023-08-13 09:12:32

I'm talking servers. We aren't allowed to run either on workstations.
