Summary

  • Add reference to the Enterprise Runner as Windows Service guide in the Advanced Installation Options page
  • Position the new section after Linux Service section for logical grouping of platform-specific installations
  • Provides Windows users with a clear path to service installation options

Context

The Advanced Installation Options page (https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/administration/runner/runner-installation/runner-install.html) covers Linux service installation and Docker methods but has no mention of Windows service installation, even though a comprehensive guide exists at https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/learning/howto/runner-service-windows.html. This creates a documentation gap for Windows users looking for service installation options.

Changes

  • Added "Windows Service for the Runner" section with brief description and link to detailed guide
  • Positioned after Linux Service section for logical platform grouping

Test plan

  • Verify link resolves correctly to existing Windows service guide
  • Confirm section placement flows logically after Linux Service section
  • Review formatting and consistency with existing sections

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Daemon or NSSM.
