Use a Windows VM, not a LXC.
And if that app doesnt have a web interface by itself, then you cant simply access it through a web interface.
A Windows VM would work, yes. But it’s also more taxing and overkill for running a single application and compatibility layering for Windows apps on Linux exist to allow specifically that.
Also, I understand that natively, you cannot just access an app through a web interface if it doesn’t have one. That doesn’t mean that redirecting the application GUI’s to be hosted through a web server can’t happen.
Similar to how RDP presents a graphical view of a system through a network connection, applications can be hosted and redirected. I’m just asking if someone already has a set up like this so that I can get a start on mine.
