<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I think the easiest route to get a QGIS server running under a
modern Windows server is through docker. Windows server (2016 and
2019 editions) can run Linux docker containers. There are plenty
of Linux QGIS server docker containers to choose from.</p>
<p>From WIndows 2016 on, docker containers are supported. 2012
doesn't support them.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>

will do this for free just for fun. But I think you’ve got a
point. One reason for QGIS success is the easy installation

handy technology. Is it doable? I think of an installation
wizard that would set up an environment with reasonable
defaults like:
