Question

Hello Everyone I m a windows10 user wanting to run Orchest locally I followed the installation steps in the docs installed minikube then Orchest and I can see the Orchest interface in my web browser at 127 0 0 1 using the minikube tunnel command But it is extremely slow and unresponsive It takes minutes to load simple stuff I have assigned 12 cpus to my minikube cluster I went through older messages in this channel and using WSL is mentioned for running on Windows Does anyone have the steps on running Orchest on windows

Yannick · Answer

Hi there For windows it is indeed recommended to use WSL2 After setting up WSL2 you can just follow the regular installation instructions to set up Orchest < Rick Lamers> Have you tried running Orchest on Windows lately

Yannick · Answer

Running on 12 cpus is more than enough I am not familiar enough with how minikube docker operates on windows to understand why the minikube tunnel command is so slow I hope and expect running on WSL fixes things for you crossed fingers

< Dev Pandya> would be happy to help you figure out performance bottlenecks Can you describe your setup a bit more Is it Docker for Desktop and minikube with the Docker driver and Windows using an x86 64 processor So no WSL WSL2

Esraa Madi · Answer

i am facing the same issue while using the same installation instruction you have mentioned above minikube start cpus 6 memory 8g disk size 50g

I m taking a look at the Windows performance today Will post an update here later raised hands

Dev Pandya · Answer

Thank you for the replies Yes it is Docker for desktop I have i9 32gigs ram 64 bit system I will try it on WSL2 and see if I can make it work

Haven t forgotten doing some more testing Will come back to this thumbsup

Rick Lamers · Answer

Still haven t forgotten did some more testing but finding some I O issues More investigation necessary Will follow up

Rick Lamers · Answer

Following up on this < Dev Pandya> Windows seems to be having issues running `minikube` properly when using the Docker driver Our testing of the Docker for Desktop shipped Kubernetes cluster is in progress will report back once we ve tested and verified that that s working That will be the preferred long term solution for running Kubernetes clusters on Windows anyway when using Docker as the container runtime

Rick Lamers · Answer

Hi < Dev Pandya> we ve just released a new version that fixes Orchest to work with Docker for Desktop s shipped Kubernetes cluster It also improves performance when running Orchest on Windows through `minikube` that still performs better than Docker for Desktop Kubernetes due to our in cluster registry Let me know if you have any issues
