Summary
The documentation page exhibits strong Windows bias: all installation instructions, prerequisites, and examples are exclusively for Windows environments. Only Windows OS versions are listed as supported, and all command-line automation is shown using PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., dmgcmd.exe, registry edits, .NET Framework requirements, Windows DPAPI encryption). There are no instructions, examples, or mentions of Linux or macOS support, nor any cross-platform alternatives. This creates a significant barrier for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform support: If self-hosted IR is Windows-only, clarify this early in the documentation. If Linux/macOS support is planned or possible, provide equivalent instructions.
- Add Linux/macOS sections: If supported, include installation, configuration, and automation steps for Linux/macOS, using appropriate tools (e.g., Bash, systemd, OpenSSL for encryption).
- Provide cross-platform automation examples: Offer CLI examples using Azure CLI, REST API, or other platform-neutral tools.
- Mention limitations: If certain features (e.g., DPAPI encryption, registry edits) are Windows-specific, note what Linux/macOS users should do instead.
- List prerequisites for all platforms: Include OS requirements for Linux/macOS if supported, or state that only Windows is supported.
