Could you please add an example command and advice for installing Viseron on Windows 10?
There are only linux examples on https://viseron.netlify.app/docs/documentation/installation#running-viseron.

Context: I have Docker desktop installed with WSL 2, and an Nvidia GPU for CUDA (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/features/gpu/). I'd like to move away from Frigate to Viseron to take advantage of my GPU.

Thank you for your work!

EDIT: I was unclear above - I have docker desktop installed as a windows application, and also have WSL 2 installed (in order to do the GPU stuff, as that's what docker says it needs in the link above).

Since you are using WSL i dont see why the Linux command wouldnt work.
Have you tried it, and if so did you get any errors?

Sorry I was unclear - I have docker desktop installed as a windows application, not in WSL. I installed WSL just so that docker can use my GPU - that's one of the requisites it mentioned in https://docs.docker.com/desktop/features/gpu/.
I did try the linux command (just for fun, I knew it wouldn't work on windows anyway as it was looking for /etc/localtime).
I hope the above makes sense. I'm looking to run this container on a windows machine, from a windows command line (or via the docker UI / configuration pages, with some way to just make it run on computer boot). Thank you :)

I see.
Sadly i dont have a machine to test this so you are gonna have to do some digging on your own.

Seems to be possible tho: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/linux-containers

But why cant you run Viseron in WSL instead?
