Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Windows Containers allow significantly better performance for Docker when hosted on a Windows Host. We should also provide a Windows Container friendly dockerfile

Describe the solution you'd like
It looks like building a windows version would just take a script modification to also import a windows ffmpeg and some system libraries, the buildfile would likely be more straightforward than the current dockerfile.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Hosting the Linux container on a windows host works, but it requires full Hyper-V virtualization which comes with security benefits but also with perf overhead.

This enhancement is blocked until the issue of missing libraries in windows server nano and core editions can be addressed. Referencing a related emby bug. This also blocks the use of Windows Server Core or Server Nano outside a container without bringing in the required libs from a full windows server.
