Issue reported by @lucaz82

Hey I cloned your repo last friday and today.

Building the containers works fine I suppose but upon starting the papermerge_service container exits with Exit 1 and says standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

I'm using docker desktop on windows

Because I don't have a real Windows box I never tested papemerge's docker images in that environment. I will install a windows on my old PC and investigate the issue.

Just edit all the .sh files in the docker cotainer folder and follow this guide:
http://sql313.com/index.php/43-main-blogs/maincat-dba/62-using-notepad-to-change-end-of-line-characters

the files should be:
app.startup.sh and
worker.startup.sh

then do a clean build and you are good to go :-)
a clean build is done by entering:
docker-compose build --no-cache

after that is finished start everything up with:
docker-compose up -d
regards, tom

I overlooked one important factor. Papermerge does not support Windows environment. I wrote it in requirements. I am not sure why I kept this ticket open and why I even promised that I will have a look at windows based installation.
Bad, bad Eugen 😄 !

Sure, you can use Papermerge from Windows (via web browser). But deploy it on windows ? Out of scope.

I think its more about hosting it on windows and that works. I dont know how Microsoft exactly does it but i think they use WSL to run linux docker images on windows os. so just for your info it is possible to run linux containers on Windows OS. i use the same setup for my tests. regards, thomas

I followed this and couldn't get it working on Windows.
