The new documentation file NANO_SERVER_MIGRATION_ANALYSIS.md details the specific blockers preventing migration to Windows Nano Server. These include:

  • Dependency on .NET Framework 4.8 (Nano supports .NET Core/.NET 5+)
  • Heavy usage of System.Activities (Windows Workflow Foundation), which is not available in .NET Core.
  • Reliance on COM Interop and other Windows-specific APIs like System.DirectoryServices and WMI, which have limited or no support in Nano Server.
  • Use of legacy web technologies (System.Web).

The document concludes that a rewrite to .NET Core/5+ would be necessary to support Nano Server, making this a high-effort modernization task rather than a simple platform migration.

The repository contains an analysis of the feasibility of moving Warewolf to Windows Nano Server Docker instances. The analysis concludes that a direct migration is not feasible due to heavy dependencies on .NET Framework 4.8 and Windows Workflow Foundation, which are not supported on Windows Nano Server.
