But I think I I saw many release , the called name winradius or freeradius.net, freeradious.net says , freeradious.net build from original source 2.0 release on cygwin.

I wonder how it's compiling,I can't do this. So this is real freeradious.net

That was based on v1, not v2, and the web site has nothing to do with the FreeRADIUS project. Someone (I don't know who) managed many years ago to build an old version of FreeRADIUS with Cygwin, and put EXEs up on a web site with no source code or attribution. The version is obsolete, and it was never supported by the project. I wouldn't go anywhere near it personally, especially over 10 years later and when you have no idea what's in the executables. -- Matthew

I already said - FreeRADIUS doesn't run on Windows. You need to run it on Linux or another UNIX like system. Whether that is a proper virtual machine or Docker (both of which can run on Windows) or something else is up to you. -- Matthew

Hello Matthew,

Yeah you right someond ( I also don't know who is) compile freeradious older version and don't go on devolopment,

So you mean you decide to use freeradious as a radius server , you should use docker ?

It depends. Judging from your questions, I assume you're not familiar with docker, including the fact that you need to rebuild the docker image for each configuration change (i.e. https://hub.docker.com/r/freeradius/freeradius-server/). Plus the fact that on windows docker would still use a linux VM, I'd suggest you not to use it. If, however, you're already familiar with docker, that's a different story.

Or you choose windows specific solution ?

That would probably be your best option, if you're using it for production environment and you only have windows machines. VM is also a good choice, assuming you'll put the database backend (I assume you'll be using this) on windows (not on the VM) as the backend would need much more resource compared to freeradius itself. The most resource-efficient way to run freeradius on windows for testing purposes now is probably using WSL (e.g. ubuntu on windows). Starting freeradius daemon on WSL requires some workarounds (i.e. you can't use 'service' or 'systemctl', need to create your own startup script or run the daemon manually on terminal), but it should be enough for testing purposes. And since you ask about cygwin, this is probably as close as you can get to it. -- Fajar

Hello Alan,

Thanks for your reply,

So what is the difference between VM and docker according to performans,
installation, using and native

Thanks ,
My Best Regards,
Onur.

quite a bit - i would suggest some research ...use Google but here are some starting points:

https://devopsconference.de/blog/docker/docker-vs-virtual-machine-where-are-...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16047306/how-is-docker-different-from-a-...

Docker is a container mechanism, typically uses far less disk space and provides more easily controlled resources - eg at the end of the day just a socket listening on 1812/1813 ready to be used by the host or rest of network that can access that host. Rather than having to deal with the whole OS to have an application running, you simply get a Docker recipe for that App and just need to configure the App.
