Windows DockerFile for community edition

@couchbase Community : Do we have plans to also provide windows DockerFile for the community edition?
Any hints to get started in this direction is also much appreciated. TIA.
At this time, no, we have no plans to support Windows Docker. I did do some experiments in the very early days of Windows Docker, and was able to get something more or less working then, but I know things have changed significantly since that time. However, the Couchbase .msi installer is pretty straightforward, so I can't imagine it would be unusually difficult. Just be aware that the installer creates and starts a Windows Service, so you would need to do whatever is the Docker best practice for services - I feel sure such a best practice exists.
Appreciate the prompt reply. I will do some experiments on this. Thanks.
