Is there a Container or some way to run a standalone Windows Desktop app without using a VM first to run Windows? - eviltoast

I have Proxmox VE OS installed on two connected desktops in my apartment, I also have the ability to VPN into apartment router remotely and operate as if I where physically there.

The desktop app I want to run is AlfaBooks, they’re like a better version of Calibre, only they cost like $40.00 for one time fee, which I am not opposed to. It also comes with their web server app, which acts like a Calibre Content Server.

However in the future, I may find othet desktop apps that I’d like to run on Proxmox without a VM in the middle.

Any ideas?

    Closest you’re gonna get I believe is a thin client, a cutdown OS that invisibly hosts your application
