Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All installation instructions, prerequisites, and tooling references are specific to Windows environments. Only Windows operating systems are listed as supported, and all command-line and automation examples use PowerShell or Windows batch tools. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are there any examples or guidance for non-Windows platforms. Windows-specific tools (e.g., registry edits, Windows event logs, Notepad, File Explorer, Windows Firewall, NT SERVICE accounts) are referenced throughout, and the use of Windows DPAPI for credential encryption is assumed. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users or acknowledge cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state in the prerequisites whether Linux or macOS are supported or not. If not, explain the roadmap or rationale.
  • If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent installation and configuration instructions for Linux (e.g., supported distributions, package managers, service management, file locations).
  • Include Linux/macOS command-line examples (e.g., Bash, systemd, Linux firewall configuration) alongside PowerShell/Windows examples.
  • Reference cross-platform tools where possible, or provide alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • If Windows-only features are required (e.g., DPAPI, registry edits), explicitly call out these dependencies and suggest workarounds or alternatives for other platforms.
  • Review all screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they are not exclusively Windows-centric, or provide Linux/macOS equivalents where applicable.
  • Mention any limitations or differences in feature support between Windows and other platforms.
