Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is presented as the only command-line method for manual appliance setup, with no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives. Registry and group policy checks are exclusively Windows-specific, and all troubleshooting and configuration steps reference Windows tools and concepts. The order of presentation also puts Windows-centric methods (PowerShell, registry, group policy) before any mention of Linux, which is only referenced in passing when discussing credentials for VMs. There are no Linux shell examples or instructions for deploying or managing the appliance from a Linux environment.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) instructions for manual appliance setup, including any scripts or commands needed.
- Document Linux-specific prerequisites and troubleshooting steps (e.g., SELinux/AppArmor, systemd services, firewall configuration) alongside Windows registry/group policy checks.
- Clarify whether the appliance can be deployed or managed from Linux hosts, and if so, include explicit steps and examples.
- Ensure parity in credential management instructions, showing how to securely provide credentials for Linux VMs using Linux-native tools.
- Review the order of presentation to avoid Windows-first bias, and explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the outset.
