I am trying to install OpenElis, paying special attention to the documentation. I am currently on a Windows 11 machine, Should I use a virtual Machine to run Ubuntu or I should run Ubuntu directly from the machine. Which way is efficient.
@Leone_Chirodza both methods ideally should work for you perfect, depends on which you are ok with !
Oh alright thank you
OpenELIS runs in docker , and currently we publish multi-platform Image builds , meaning you should be able to run OpenELIS in docker on Windows , Linux and MacOS without issues.
If youre on windows , just install docker Desktop on windows and directly run it. You dont need to run it inside a VM

I wanted to give you a quick update on my OpenELIS setup progress.I successfully followed your advice about using Docker directly on Windows instead of setting up Ubuntu in a VM. You were absolutely right - it was much more straightforward!What I completed:Installed Docker Desktop for Windows (AMD64)Cloned the OpenELIS-Global-2 repository from GitHubSuccessfully ran docker-compose up -dAll containers are now running (database, webapp, front-end, proxy, FHIR API, and certs)
OpenELIS is now running locally, and Iām about to access it through localhost to explore the interface and familiarize myself with the system
