“I want to build a PACS platform. using Orthanc as the backend Dicom engine (not visible to users) and a customizable OHIF viewer (what users see only). My goal is to run this in Docker and host on a cloud server. I need a **minimal, working setup on Windows** that supports DICOMweb and allows login. What’s the simplest way to achieve this. PLEASE I NEED HELP URGENTLY 🙏

[Check out the Orthanc Book](https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/users/cookbook.html#obtaining-binaries), you will find instructions for Docker.
