Hi All, The technical challenge I'm trying to solve is to provide an off-line version of an API that runs on a laptop. This API would be primed with the appropriate data set from the cloud, then would be used off-line during data entry. Data would only be added, not modified or deleted during that time. Once back on-line, the cloud would be updated with the new data. It looks like Docker has a technical solution that runs a Windows VM inside Windows, but what I'd love to have is a Linux VM running inside of Windows that would have a self-contained web server and database. I could probably implement this in a Windows container, but it would be so much easier to do in Linux. Thanks for your thoughts. -- Alex Beamish Software Developer / https://ca.linkedin.com/in/alex-beamish-5111ba3 Speaker Wrangler, Toronto Perlmongers / http://to.pm.org/ Baritone, Board Member, Toronto Northern Lights, 2013 Champions / www.northernlightschorus.com Certified Contest Administrator, Barbershop Harmony Society / www.barbershop.org
