This project makes it surprisingly easy to run a Windows environment inside a Docker container by using a QEMU-based virtual machine under the hood. It provides a turnkey image and a simple set of environment variables so you can select Windows editions, control disk persistence, and access the VM via a web-based VNC console or similar remote viewers. Because the VM is wrapped in Docker, you can treat Windows as a disposable, repeatable service: create, snapshot with volumes, tear down, and rebuild with consistent results. The setup bundles sensible defaults for UEFI/OVMF firmware, virtio devices, and automated first-boot behavior to streamline installation. It’s handy for demos, testing, or hosted tooling that truly requires Windows but where you still want container-style workflows and orchestration.

Features

  • Automatic download (or local upload) of Windows ISO for installation
  • Configuration of CPU cores and RAM via environment variables
  • Support selecting Windows edition (Core, GUI, etc.)
  • Support selecting language, keyboard layout, region via environment variables
  • Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access to interact with the Windows GUI
  • Stored inside a Docker container, potentially portable and lightweight windowed VM inside container
