Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All installation instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume Windows OS (Windows 10/11/Server only), with no mention of Linux or macOS support or alternatives. All command-line and automation examples use PowerShell, and required tools (such as dmgcmd.exe, diahost.exe.config, and the MSI installer) are Windows-specific. The use of Windows DPAPI for credential encryption further cements the Windows-only approach. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents, nor any guidance for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state OS support: If self-hosted IR is Windows-only, clarify this early in the documentation. If Linux/macOS support is possible, provide installation instructions and examples for those platforms.
- Provide Linux/macOS alternatives: If feasible, offer equivalent steps for Linux/macOS, including supported tools, configuration files, and automation scripts (e.g., Bash, systemd).
- Include cross-platform CLI examples: Use Azure CLI or REST API examples in addition to PowerShell, and clarify which commands are OS-agnostic.
- Document limitations: Clearly outline any features or steps that are unavailable on non-Windows platforms.
- Mention platform requirements in prerequisites: State explicitly that only Windows is supported, and provide rationale if possible.
