Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All installation instructions, prerequisites, and examples are exclusively for Windows environments. PowerShell is the only CLI tool shown for automation, and Windows-specific tools (such as registry edits, NT SERVICE accounts, and Windows Firewall) are referenced throughout. There is no mention of Linux support, nor are there any Linux-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting steps. The use of Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) for credential encryption further reinforces the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether Linux is supported or not. If Linux is supported, provide parity in installation, configuration, and troubleshooting instructions for Linux environments.
  • Include Linux-based examples for installation, such as using shell scripts, systemd services, and Linux firewall configuration (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw).
  • Offer CLI automation examples using Bash or Azure CLI, not just PowerShell.
  • Document Linux-specific prerequisites (e.g., supported distributions, required libraries, .NET Core/Mono requirements if applicable).
  • Describe credential encryption and storage mechanisms for Linux, if different from DPAPI.
  • Reference Linux equivalents for service management (systemd, init.d) and account permissions.
  • If the self-hosted integration runtime is Windows-only, clarify this limitation early in the documentation and provide guidance for Linux users seeking alternatives.
