i wonder what is the aim of using docker to deploy the rasa to public?

and is there any other way to deploy it without docker?

and if no how to use docker in windows to deploy the rasa project??

and what is better to deploy rasa x or the rasa it self?

thanks

I think Docker has a ton of advantages for deployment as e.g. described here.

In short it provides a reproducable, quick, and isolated way of deploying anything. I don’t think there is a better alternative for this. Docker is the current best practice.

Yes, you can directly install the necessary Python package via something like pip install and then run rasa directly on your VM.

and if no how to use docker in windows to deploy the rasa project??

Did you checkout the docs? There should be no difference between Windows and other machines for Docker.

and what is better to deploy rasa x or the rasa it self?

If you just want to get started I’d recommend Rasa Open Source. If you’re ready to go into production I’d use Rasa X.
