How to setup on-premise container for Read container (Computer Vision APIs) in Windows Server.

Question

Hi Team,

To run the Computer Vision APIs in your on-prem environment. We created a local docker container for Read container (Computer Vision APIs) in our linux server. The whole setup is working perfectly fine. We upload documents through the Container and getting required OCR outputs.

Need clarification for the below requirement:

Can we create such container within windows virtual machine rather than linux server.?

If so, we need to know the procedure or steps to setup the Read container in our On-prem Windows server.?

Thanks,

Anand Kumar I

Hi @I. Anand Kumar , yes, you can create container within windows virtual machine. So long as you install docker you should be able to run this: Use Azure Cognitive Services Containers on-premises - Azure Cognitive Services | Microsoft Lear

As docker support the containers on windows and Linux servers.

There is no documentation related to this, but you can follow basic steps to set up the Read container in your on-premises Windows environment similar to linux.

Try installing docker then pull the container and then run it using docker CLI.
