I'd be careful in making this claim. While we can technically run the pelican binary on Windows, most of the functionality is turned of or compiled out. It's not as bad with MacOS, but we're still largely untested there as well.

Do you think is is for windows only or the claim that we support the OS? If it's former, then I can add a note to Windows item suggesting that we only support client functionality. This would be the same thing for macOS where I don't think xrootd works well with mac and people should be required to build xrootd from source

Good question. I haven't even tested the client on Windows and I've not examined the extent of our windows tests. Does the client fully work there?

I've bugged @joereuss12 to run the .exe program we generated and see if that works

@jhiemstrawisc Are we good with Joe's testing? Any other comments/thoughts? |

I think Joe's testing shows we're okay. We can always come back and change it if a user proves us wrong. |

Latest commit is to reflect changes in #945 |
This PR revised Install page of Pelican documentation. It adds a page to explain how to run Pelican servers with Docker images.
Still waiting for
example to run cache in docker container, andinstructions to run windows binary. Appreciate if anyone knows how to do any of them.
