Ive used this for a while, but at some point it stopped working, some reading suggest this no longer works at all for windows, that the bot cannot push audio when hosted from a windows system anymore and there is no intention of fixing it any time soon? Is this true *Questioning sad face*

Just use WSL (Subsystem for Liux). I'm using it for Windows Server and it works great.
Thanks Dracarys, ill look into it. I tried to use the latest "ochinchinsan/sinusbot" docker container, but could not even get the web interface up and running. But I'm pretty new to all this, i don't mind learning something new. I'm already running several things on this server via windows so I'm very hesitant to try and migrate my server to Linux.
Do you have a recommendation for WSL packages? This machine also hosts a SQL server, Jellyfin, SFTP, and a couple dedicated game servers.Just use WSL (Subsystem for Liux). I'm using it for Windows Server and it works great.

I just installed Debian with WSL and used this guide: https://sinusbot.github.io/docs/installation/linux/#manual-installation
after several days of trial, error, and failed help, WSL did not work at all for me with either Debian or Ubuntu, nor did a Hyper-V VM of Ubuntu but you can install or force Hyper-V via batch commands on Windows 11 Home edition as i did, after Installing a Fresh Debian VM, i had no trouble getting Sinusbot to install.
Something to note, if your using the instructions @: https://sinusbot.github.io/docs/installation/linux/#manual-installation, you need to replace the file referenced in the instruction: "wget https://www.sinusbot.com/dl/sinusbot.current.tar.bz2" with the newer versions for listed below, or it will still not work with windows since Discord broke the versions previous to 1.0.2.
They are also listed in the support channel in discord.
amd64: "wget https://www.sinusbot.com/pre/sinusbot-1.0.2-amd64.tar.bz2"
arm64: "wget https://www.sinusbot.com/pre/sinusbot-1.0.2-arm64.tar.bz2"

Hi VirusMD,
Microsoft hasn’t officially declared the end of Windows, but many users feel like Windows is losing its edge. With the push toward cloud-based services, subscription models, and the rise of alternatives like Linux and macOS, some are questioning whether traditional Windows is becoming obsolete for average users. Still, it remains dominant in enterprise and gaming spaces.
Recent versions like Windows 11 have introduced more modern UI elements and performance boosts, but they’ve also brought bloatware, telemetry concerns, and forced online accounts, frustrating longtime fans. As Microsoft integrates more AI and cloud-based tools, it’s shifting its focus away from the classic desktop-first experience.
Interestingly, users now spend more time on mobile platforms and social apps like Snapchat than on traditional PCs, reflecting a broader shift in how people interact with technology. While Windows may not be “dead,” it’s certainly no longer the center of the digital universe for many.
Regards
