Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing a connectivity testing example using PSPING in PowerShell, a Windows-only tool, without offering a Linux/macOS equivalent. The example is presented immediately after the redis-cli section, with no mention of Linux-native alternatives like netcat, telnet, or nmap. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who cannot use PSPING and must infer or research their own solutions.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS equivalents for connectivity testing, such as examples using netcat (nc), telnet, or nmap.
  • Explicitly mention that PSPING is a Windows-only tool and provide alternative commands for other platforms.
  • Present cross-platform examples side-by-side or in parallel sections to ensure parity.
  • Review other troubleshooting steps to ensure tools and instructions are not Windows-centric.
