## FAQ
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I perform the installation?
|
|
|
|
- Start the container and wait until the ISO download is completed. If needed, you can view this progress in the Docker log. Wait until you see the message ```BdsDxe: starting Boot```.
|
|
|
|
- Connect to port 8006 of the container in your web browser.
|
|
|
|
- Start the installation by clicking ```Install now```. On the next screen, press 'OK' when prompted to ```Load driver``` and select the ```VirtIO SCSI``` driver from the list that matches your Windows version. So for Windows 11, select ```D:\amd64\w11\vioscsi.inf``` and click 'Next'.
|
|
|
|
- Accept the license agreement and select your preferred Windows edition, like Home or Pro.
|
|
|
|
- Choose ```Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)```, and click ```Load driver``` on the next screen. Select 'Browse' and navigate to the ```D:\NetKVM\w11\amd64``` folder, and click 'OK'. Select the ```VirtIO Ethernet Adapter``` from the list and click 'Next'.
|
|
|
|
- Select 'Drive 0' and click 'Next'.
|
|
|
|
- Wait until Windows finishes copying files and completes the installation.
|
|
|
|
- Once you see your desktop, open File Explorer and navigate to the CD-ROM drive (D:). Double-click on ```virtio-win-gt-x64``` and proceed to install the VirtIO drivers.
|
|
|
|
- Now your Windows installation is ready for use. Enjoy it, and don't forget to star this repo!

|
|
|
* ### How do I specify the Windows version?
|
|
|
|
You can modify the `VERSION` environment variable to specify the version of Windows you want to download:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
VERSION: "win11x64"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Select from the values below:
|
|
|
|
- ```win11x64``` (Windows 11)
|
|
- ```win10x64``` (Windows 10)
|
|
- ```win81x64``` (Windows 8.1)
|
|
- ```win2022-eval``` (Windows Server 2022)
|
|
- ```win2019-eval``` (Windows Server 2019)
|
|
- ```win2016-eval``` (Windows Server 2016)
|
|
|
|
* ### How can I view the screen?
|
|
|
|
The container includes a web-based viewer, so you can visit [http://localhost:8006/](http://localhost:8006/) using any web browser to view the screen and interact with Windows via the keyboard or mouse.
|
|
|
|
This is mainly for use during installation, as afterwards you can use Remote Desktop, TeamViewer or any other software you prefer.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I increase the amount of CPU or RAM?
|
|
|
|
By default, 2 CPU cores and 4 GB of RAM are allocated to the container, as those are the minimum requirements of Windows 11.
|
|
|
|
To increase this, add the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
RAM_SIZE: "8G"
|
|
CPU_CORES: "4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I change the size of the data disk?
|
|
|
|
To expand the default size of 64 GB, add the `DISK_SIZE` setting to your compose file and set it to your preferred capacity:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
environment:
|
|
DISK_SIZE: "128G"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can also be used to resize the existing disk to a larger capacity without any data loss.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I change the location of the data disk?
|
|
|
|
To change the location of the data disk, include the following bind mount in your compose file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- /var/win:/storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace the example path `/var/win` with the desired storage folder.
|
|
|
|
* ### How do I verify if my system supports KVM?
|
|
|
|
To verify if your system supports KVM, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install cpu-checker
|
|
sudo kvm-ok
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you receive an error from `kvm-ok` indicating that KVM acceleration can't be used, check the virtualization settings in the BIOS.
|
|
|
|
* ### Is this project legal?
|
|
|
|
Yes, this project contains only open-source code and does not distribute any copyrighted material. Neither does it try to circumvent any copyright protection measures. So under all applicable laws, this project would be considered legal.
