🚀 Migrating a Windows App to Linux on DigitalOcean

I migrated a Windows-only app that depended on SQL Anywhere 9, ODBC drivers, and a full Windows GUI to a Linux server on DigitalOcean. The goal was to run everything on Linux without losing any functionality.

1️⃣ Set up ODBC on Linux so the app could talk to the database the same way it did on Windows. 2️⃣ Ran SQL Anywhere inside Wine using a custom startup script. 3️⃣ Made the Windows GUI work on a headless server by using Wine, Xvfb, and VNC so the client could access it remotely. 4️⃣ Installed missing ODBC components and configured them through Wine’s registry. 5️⃣ Updated the entrypoint to start the app automatically inside Docker.
