I’m currently running an instance on Ubuntu but I’m wondering if it can be moved to my windows computer?
Maybe but it doesn’t seem like a terribly good idea. All prior art for Lemmy, and most serious server stuff on the Internet, is on Linux. It would be a lot of effort and would result in a worse solution than the tools that already exist.
If you compiled from source maybe, but that’s the point of docker, you can run docker containers anywhere
Wouldn’t recommend running production services on windows.

I believe it can be, but what I’ve found in general with respect to my fediverse journey is that pretty much everything is built for Linux. If you want to use windows, you’ll likely have to blaze a trail for yourself.
I had one windows PC in my server farm initially, but installed Linux after I realized most things I wanted to run really wanted me to be running Linux.
