Maybe it runs on Linux because jupyterhub does not work on Windows, not even on Linux subsystem? Microsoft ported docker to Windows, please do the same with jup

- smortaz 10y ago[msft] Hi dnfromufa. Actually the decision to go with linux/docker was purely because, (at least) at that time, container mgmt was better on linux. In fact Azure ML backends run Windows and you can use notebooks to build ML models, then deploy to windows backends. Thank you Python & Anaconda xplat support! RE Jupyterhub on Windows - if enough customers want it, I'm sure it can be done. Not convinced the demand is there yet. If you have data I'd love to see it! Thanks.
- denfromufa 10y agoHere is some activity recently on this issue, but Jupyter team is not interested: https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/issues/703 https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/issues/703 Also original issue here and "Wontfix" comment: https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/issues/7 https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/issues/7
- smortaz 10y ago[msft] Thanks for digging! Honestly I understand as their team is actively trying to make things like jupyterlab work well right now. My guess is that if services like ours become wildly popular, someone (msft?) may step up and do & maintain the Windows port. I'm sure it'll be popular at Wall Street etc type shops. TBD.
