[OUTDATED - PLEASE SEE DESCRIPTION] Rough DLU Server Setup Walkthrough

So, at launch the pure Windows installation method was broken. However, this has been fixed, and I can now recommend, whole heartedly, the following guide:
https://gist.github.com/HailStorm32/169df65a47a104199b5cc57d10fa57de
HailStorm has been genuinely INCREDIBLE with helping people out, and this guide is a culmination of much of that work. He also produced a video on the topic, although this is not kept up to date, whilst the GitHub repo currently is.


Firstly, a huge thanks to the devs. Honestly, for all the flack it got, this was pretty easy to set up. They've done an incredible job getting everything this far. This seemed incredibly unimaginable only a year or so ago, so so be here, now... I'm truly amazed by their work.
I'd also ask that you not pester them with requests. (Oh, and also, I'm unlikely to keep up to date with requests for help in the comments, either - so I'd, again, recommend the LUCH!)

Also, for future reference, creating a new account is at least an order of magnitude easier than editing in 'redacted's... And if I missed one, well, RIP, I guess y'all know my name, then! Wasn't planning on it just yet, but I can live with it if I have dropped it.

Further on that note, this is far from a perfect tutorial - I wasn't truly working on a fresh install, and I'm no expert. These were the steps I used to get it done, but I might have gotten lucky with other things I had installed. For more information, I'd recommend the LUCH.

Final procedure (especially regarding the neat setup of the MariaDB database) used the following (far more concise and also less hacky, not falling foul of stuff like this https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/do-not-change-linux-files-using-windows-apps-and-tools/) guide for reference (although I did build it once or twice myself for understanding):

Beautiful text file, as seen in the video:
