{% hint style="danger" %}
This install method is **not currently supported**. Docker is the only install method currently supported. Do not open tickets or ask for support in case you're running this "natively" and cannot/did not reproduce the issue in the Docker install. Thank you for understanding.
**WSL2 will need to be installed to prevent DB corruption! Please see** [**Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend**](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl/) **on how to enable WSL2. The command below will only work with WSL2 installed! Details below.**
Docker on Windows works differently than it does on Linux; it uses a VM to run a stripped-down Linux and then runs docker within that. The volume mounts are exposed to the docker in this VM via SMB mounts. While this is fine for media, it is unacceptable for the `/app/config` directory because SMB does not support file locking. This will eventually corrupt your database which can lead to slow behavior and crashes. If you must run in docker on Windows, you should put the `/app/config` directory mount inside the VM and not on the Windows host. It's worth noting that this warning also extends to other containers which use SQLite databases.
