Windows Server 2019/2016 support for winode?

[huuphat68]

Hi Kit,

Thanks for creating winode — the automated StackScript installation works really well for Windows Server 2022 on Linode.

I'm trying to run a lighter version of Windows Server, preferably Server 2019 or 2016, using the same fully automated StackScript approach.

Have you ever tested winode with Windows Server 2019 or 2016? If not, do you think adding support would mainly require changing the ISO, distrobuilder --windows-version, and the autounattend configuration, or are there other compatibility issues?

I'd be happy to test it on Linode if you have an experimental version or any suggestions.

Thanks!

Yes that should be all that is needed. distrobuilder support is the key and that appears to be there. Then it's just double checking that the drivers being inserted are compatible as well. Otherwise it will boot but not be useful.
