Support/Guide For Windows? #25

Open rowdya22 opened 1 year ago

rowdya22 commented 1 year ago

I've had this running on my linux server flawlessly but with recent cost increases I've had to let the server go. I'm trying desperately to get everything running on Windows and found this maintained fork (amazing by the way)!

Any plans for windows support?

I have no idea with running it on windows. Appreciate if someone else could help with this.

That is what docker is for ;P

The original plex_autoscan had reports of people using it on windows prior to it becoming docker only/friendly. Where I've never used docker, I set it up and messed with it for a while but couldn't get it to nicely work. Any idea how to get it going or better yet how to run this from a virtual environment with just python? That would be something a lot more friendly (for me) and much less resource intensive as anytime I had docker for windows running it ate more RAM than chrome.

I've continued moving from my Linux server to Windows (big pain but forced). Lots of scripts that I've used run in a python virtual environment. Problem with that is that I still need to set up the config. If anyone has a windows friendly config or guesses at the required variable values/paths in windows I should be able to get the rest working from there.
