Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. The alternative to OVA deployment is described as a 'PowerShell installer script', with no mention of a Linux shell or bash equivalent. Installation instructions for the VMware VDDK specify extraction to a Windows path (C:\Program Files\...), with no Linux path or instructions. Credential examples and validation focus on domain and Windows credentials, with Linux credentials mentioned only in a dropdown list, and no Linux-specific guidance or troubleshooting. All configuration steps and screenshots are oriented toward Windows environments, with no Linux appliance deployment or management examples.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux shell (bash) installer script instructions as an alternative to PowerShell, and link to them equally.
- Include Linux-specific steps for installing and extracting the VMware VDDK, with appropriate Linux file paths and permissions.
- Offer examples and troubleshooting for Linux server credentials, including validation and error handling.
- Add screenshots and configuration manager instructions for Linux-based appliance deployments.
- Ensure parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux environments, presenting options side-by-side where possible.
