Native Windows alternative to Overseer? (alien.top)

Hey everyone, I've been bitten with the self-hosting bug the last couple months and after migrating from Windows, to a Linux VM, and now partially back to Windows (just for my core "media" cycle) I'm looking for alternatives to Overseerr that can be ran natively in Windows.

Before I hear your crowd of y'all scream at me, I still have my Linux VM and I'm still going to be messing around with it and adding services to it. But I've had a lot of issues with certain things on it and my windows service seems to be a lot more stable so I want to keep my media cycle on Windows so my users aren't as affected by my tinkering. I may even still keep overseer on Linux but I would like at least some sort of alternative that runs on Windows so no matter what happens to my Linux VM, whether it's on, off, malfunctioning or what have you, My users will still be able to request content.

Additionally, does anyone know of any good software to make images of Linux, or specifically Virtual Machines? Currently I'm using VMWare player free, but I have Windows Pro so I could go to Hyper-X. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions you may have.

Use jellyseerr. Build using yarn/nodejs.

Follow the windows build instructions on jellyseer github. https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr#windows

Why can't you just install it in WSL2?

If you get a bit deeper into virtualization you might want to consider proxmox. Proxmox can just backup entire VMs and restore them.

If you have docker desktop installed, try linuxserver's overseerr container.
