Support for installation on Windows

When will you support Windows native install? Windows server is 75% of the on-prem market and 50% of the cloud market.

Hi @steskalja, I hope you're doing well.

Currently there are no plans to support Windows Server as the project is primarily aimed at developers and enthusiasts (e.g., homelabs running TrueNAS or Proxmox).

That said, a native version for Windows in general is largely a matter of compiling for that OS and validating that everything works as expected. It should theoretically work on the Server variant as well, though it would require some additional work (such as setting up background services) that is out of scope.

I'll look into this in the near future since this could benefit developers working on Windows machines, but I can't commit to a specific date or timeline at the moment. I'll update the discussion here as it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion!

@steskalja, version 2.28.0 is now out with native support for Windows (amd64 and arm64). Zip is available for download at the releases page, with usage instructions included within the archive.

Please let me know if you find any issues. Thanks again for the suggestion.
