I run this blog off a really old Windows PC acting as a server – it’s been great, and serves my needs for years (at least since pre-COVID!)

Recently a lot of my online services and apps that I run have been dockerised and through the simple use of docker compose, I’ve always enjoyed the simplicity of using some proprietary software that required Windows, as well as just running this site off Docker for Windows.

Until now – I’ve since installed WSL2 and moved this container onto the WSL2 filesystem, and let me tell you – the performance is night and day between the site when it was running through all the translation stuff for Docker Windows, and Docker “natively” in WSL2.

I can’t believe it…!

And now I’m going to start looking at migrating all the rest of my stuff across in an effort to maximise performance.
