How can you use it on Windows ?

[Fmstrat]

As the application runs in Docker, you just need to set up Windows' SSH server on the remote machine first: https://winaero.com/blog/enable-openssh-server-windows-10/

Then you can have it execute whatever Windows command you require to stop and start Plex. If you are running PMS as a service, then it's just net stop and net start.

Lastly, fire the app up in docker (or WSL with sqlite3).

@Fmstrat I have this running in a docker container hosted on windows and ssh'ing to my remote server on ubuntu. I had to modify the cron-script to add the do not compare DB flag but otherwise the script is working great.
I am hoping you might have some insight as to how to get the host plex server (not in docker) to stop and start, I am currently using the commands
--plex-start-2 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Server.exe" --plex-stop-2 "taskkill /IM Plex Media Server.exe"
but I don't believe these will affect the host at all, is there something else I can do here besides manually start and stop the server?

--------EDIT-----------
I am a dummy.
The simple solution here is just to ssh to the host machine, even if it is a windows host. for anyone who might be wondering heres an idea of how my cron-script file looks.
