As you know, a productional server running on Windows Server 2022 is a bit rare, but I am used to Windows. I have tried doing anything what those articles teaching “Installation in WSL” on native Windows, it is impossible due to a vital Ruby gem `libv8-node` does not support Windows. Then I turned to WSL, encountering lots of problems…

Basically, I wanted to deploy Discourse in WSL without Docker, and PostgreSQL and Nginx is running in native Windows environment, is there a tutorial for my case?
