I want to run Elasticsearch 7.1.1 on windows containers. I know windows were not supported in the past, but after fixes on the symbolic links, there have been workarounds.

Is there any official update on that matter or a suggested unofficial workaround?

Thanks in advance,  
Nick

Sorry to disappoint but we do not support running Elasticsearch on Windows containers.

I've read all about not supporting windows containers in many posts. I just thought if there is an unofficial way of doing it.
