Is it possible to install Exalate on our own Windows 2019 server. Can you provide instructions?

We’re still waiting on a few final environment changes, but hopefully we will be trying it soon!

I may have found my answer here: https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/FAQ

For HP ALM: Exalate is delivered as an external application which interfaces with HP through the REST API. You will need following:
  • A host which can run the application
  • The application is delivered either as a RPM (centos) or as a docker image (many platforms)
  • In the case of an RPM, a postgresql 9.4 database needs to be deployed on the host
  • The exalate application needs to have access on the HP ALM application (for reading and writing)

Is Docker licensed as part of Microsoft Windows Server or is a Docker subscription required? I have seen conflicting information.

Thanks.

We never tried to deploy Exalate on a docker environment hosted on windows server 2019.

can you give it a try?
