Run on your own guide for windows 10

[kingabzpro]

Describe the problem

The docker dose not translate well into windows so I figure out ways to do for windows.

Describe the solution

1. create API key and add * after your index as shown below👇
2. copy newly created API and Application ID into .env
3. convert the json file into text file either by jq -r tostring or use online tools. save it in config.txt
4. install wsl2 and Ubuntu-> make ubuntu default. Install latest docker from docker hub.
5. type wsl and use cd /mnt/c/your/directory/
6. run the command docker run -it --env-file=.env -e "CONFIG=$(cat config.txt)" algolia/docsearch-scraper

Alternatives you've considered

It worked for me and If you have any question you can ask me on Docsearch Discord server.

Hey, thanks for letting us know.

If you want to, you can also add a guide to our documentation by adding a On windows (or something similar) section on this page: https://docsearch.algolia.com/docs/legacy/run-your-own#run-the-crawl-from-the-docker-image
