Installation On Windows Server 2025 | Initial Setup and Execution Failed | NodeJs, Docker & Python

[DrewTheGiraffe]

Hello,

I am attempting to deploy this service as a webapp. I tried NodeJs, Python and Docker Desktop.
The preferred method for interaction would be Node to use the WebApp edition if possible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, happy to talk it over on Discord as well, very interested in getting this working.

Here are the results respectively:

NodeJs:
