Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively describing the configuration server as a Windows Server 2016 VM, with all setup, registration, and management steps assuming a Windows environment. Examples and instructions (e.g., MySQL installation, folder paths, administrator credentials) are Windows-centric, with Linux only briefly mentioned in the context of VM credentials. There are no Linux-based deployment options, examples, or parity in tooling or process.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions or alternatives for deploying the configuration server on Linux-based VMs, if supported.
  • Include Linux-specific examples for steps such as MySQL installation, file paths, and credential requirements.
  • Clarify whether the configuration server must be Windows-only, and if so, explain the rationale and suggest Linux-compatible alternatives for related tasks.
  • Add parity in troubleshooting and FAQ sections for Linux users, including common issues and solutions.
  • If Windows is a hard requirement, make this clear early in the documentation and link to Linux-based disaster recovery options where available.
