Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All setup instructions and examples use PowerShell, with no mention of Linux shell equivalents. The installer script is a PowerShell script (.ps1), and deployment steps reference Windows-specific tools and concepts (Registry Editor, Windows roles like IIS, Windows Activation Service, PowerShell ISE). There is no guidance for Linux-based appliance deployment, nor are Linux commands or tools referenced. Windows terminology and patterns (e.g., HKLM registry keys, %ProgramData% paths) are used exclusively, and Linux alternatives are not provided.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-based deployment instructions, including shell commands and installer scripts compatible with bash/sh.
- Offer examples for running the appliance setup on Linux servers, including agent installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- Reference Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools (e.g., use systemd or init scripts instead of Windows services, /etc or /var/log paths instead of %ProgramData%).
- Include screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux environments alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify OS requirements and whether the appliance can be hosted on Linux, and if not, explain the limitation and suggest alternatives.
