Nayeem,

I’ve no experience running DHIS 2 in a Windows production environment, but have installed it to windows laptops from 7 to 10 over the years with success, but those were for demonstration or development instances where running Virtual Box (with Ubuntu/CentOS) was not an option. As long as you get the software stack working, all the functionality should be in there.

Take a look at the spec suggestion here: http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/implementer/html/ch08s02.html

And add another 1GB of RAM at least to run windows. More if the windows box has any other jobs to do.

I’d say some of the risks are a whole lot less documentation on how to install and run it on Windows. It is more expensive: you need a windows license and a slightly larger machine (and VPS windows hosting is typically more expensive).

If it is the older version of 2008 (and not 2008R2), make sure that the latest software packages like postgres, tomcat, java (1.8 required) will install properly to “Vista” as 2008 is roughly analogous to Windows Vista (2008R2 is roughly analogous to Windows 7).

Hi Nayeem,

DHIS 2 works on all operating systems for which there are a JVM and (preferably) a PostgreSQL distribution. That includes Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac and Solaris.

regards,

Lars
