Docker will read the Dockerfile in the codebase and set up the containers and run the script inside those containers. To run unix based Docker containers on Windows, 2 major components are required:ĭocker is a system which manages containers which are like minimal parts of virtual machines. I thought about using Docker to host it, which would allow it to be run anywhere, so I looked into that and ended up changing my script to using puppeteer instead of selenium webdriver, which is easier to use in Docker. Since I had already done the groundwork, I knew that setting up and using WSL2 directly to run NodeJS was not that easy, so I needed another way. I think I didn't think about it as NodeJs development is almost exclusively in Unix environment. The type of people looking for PC hardware that might find my script are most likely already on a PC (not a Mac) and most PC users use Windows. To be honest I should have seen it coming. My Stock Checker project had some interest from some Windows users.

For windows instal Checkers !
