Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily through its use of Windows-specific tooling and patterns. For example, instructions for converting PFX certificates to base64 explicitly use PowerShell and reference Windows file paths (e.g., 'c:\certificate.pfx') before mentioning OpenSSL as an alternative. The troubleshooting steps for certificate conversion also assume Windows environments and PowerShell usage, with Linux tools (OpenSSL) mentioned only as a workaround. There are no Linux-specific examples or explicit parity for Linux command-line usage, and Windows-centric terminology (such as 'Default.htm', 'iisstart.htm', 'default.aspx') appears in configuration samples, further reinforcing the Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and macOS equivalents for all command-line instructions, especially for certificate conversion (e.g., show OpenSSL usage first or alongside PowerShell).
  • Use platform-neutral file paths in examples (e.g., '/home/user/certificate.pfx' or './certificate.pfx') and clarify that instructions apply to all major OSes.
  • When listing default documents or configuration options, avoid Windows/IIS-specific files unless necessary, or add notes about Linux/Apache/Nginx equivalents.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tools and workflows, and provide links or examples for Linux and macOS users.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps and ensure Linux-first or platform-agnostic guidance is included, not just Windows/PowerShell solutions.
