10100 :: Windows Containers for Windows Server 2019 Deprecated

• haydenb (orginal) [2023-04-14T17:16:12+02:00] view original

  I maintain Windows Containers with a complete Nim development environment.

  These have never seen much use, but I build them nightly and make them available for use.

  They make a quick, fresh, and disposable Windows Nim development environment easy to set up.

  Two updates:

  • I have deprecated the Windows Server 2019 containers. These barely got any use and the most recent builds of MinGW were no longer compatible.
  • I have added a very simple pause.exe <https://github.com/sirredbeard/nim-pause>_to make it simpler to keep the container running in the background with Docker Desktop and then Terminal in:

  docker pull ghcr.io/sirredbeard/nim-windows-container/nimstable-ltsc2022:latest > docker run ghcr.io/sirredbeard/nim-windows-container/nimstable-ltsc2022:latest c:nimpause.exe

  If you have any issues/questions, you can open an issue on the repo, ping me on Twitter @unixterminal, or drop an e-mail to hayden [dot] barnes [at] hpe [dot] com.

  Thanks,

  Hayden
