We might need to deploy our new application that uses PostrgreSQL DB to the infrastructure where only Windows VMs are available. I have a question if it is fine to run the RDBMS server there, or we should insist on setting up a Linux VM. This might be complicated from business point of view as the company where we want to deploy it might not have engineers who can support Linux. So I would like to know if: 1. It is ok to run production PostgreSQL server on Windows 2. If there any official statement regarding target running OS, couldn't find anything

I have found a somewhat similar question Is PostgreSQL suited to one OS? Is it better on Linux than Windows? but it is quite old, so maybe something has changed since then.

    I never saw any regardless to not use on windows but you can run inside a docker container base on linux on windows. It's not perfect but a option. – Krismorte Apr 23 '20 at 14:40
  • Thank you, I this is another option, but I think unfortunately it is also not as simple as just running the server on VM, as they already do with our older app on MS SQL Server – MyUserName Apr 24 '20 at 07:16
