On my first try using Rasa, I installed Rasa local mode on my PC and it works just fine. My employee give me a task to produce a chatbot on the server.

I have tried installing using all the guide [here](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/installation-and-setup/installation-guide/) (except the local mode which I did not intend to use) but all failed with different error.

Actually, this is my first time using Windows Server Datacenter so I might not have too many knowledge. Which is the best way to install?

This is the specification on the Virtual Machine assigned to me:

- 4vcpu
- 8gb ram
- 100gb hard disk

Hey @acapothman

I don’t have much XP with `Windows Server`, but since you have only one virtual machine (as opposed to the k8s ckuster), my best guess would be to use the `docker-compose` deployment. That’s what I would do should I have a linux server.

While waititng for the reply, I just find out that Docker Container is not supported in Windows Server. 🙁 So what do you think i should use?

hey @acapothman

You need a docker runtime, and it’s in a list of supported platforms [according](https://www.docker.com/products/container-runtime) to the docker.
