According to the documentation it runs on docker by default, so it
depends on how simple it is to get running docker on windows
<https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/>.
Another approach could be to run a linux virtual machine on the
windows box, since the pgwatch documentation explains how to install
it on a non-docker container.

Hope this helps.

Hi Luca,

Thanks a lot for your response.

So are you saying we can run pgwatch from windows also ?
From reading so far on pgwatch, I thought it can be installed and run only on linux platforms - but, I may be wrong.
Would you have a document on downloading and installing the windows version?

Another question:
Can we install and run it from the postgres database server itself?

Thanks and regards,

No, I wrote that pgwatch runs in a docker container, so as far as you
can run docker on windows you should be able to run pgwatch within
docker on top of windows.

pgwatch runs on a linux stack, so if you need to run it on windows you
have either to runa  virtual machine (running linux) or get a docker
linux container available and running.

I think it is possible, but probably not the best solution.

Thanks a lot Luca.

Last question:
If we want to run on windows  then, is there any guide/documentation available that you can refer me.

Thanks

Don't forget Windows Subsystem for Linux: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

In my first email I sent you the link to get started with docker on
windows <https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/>, then I believe
you have to do your own homework.
