Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. It explicitly states that the File System connector only supports Windows file systems and Windows operating systems, and all examples, prerequisites, and authentication methods are Windows-centric (e.g., Windows authentication, domain\username format, references to Windows domains, and App Service Environment v3 with Windows plans only). There are no examples, instructions, or even mentions of Linux file systems or how to connect to non-Windows file shares. Linux users are not addressed, and no alternatives or workarounds are suggested.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state early in the documentation that Linux file systems are not supported, and provide a roadmap or link to feature requests if Linux support is planned.
- If partial Linux support exists (e.g., via SMB/CIFS shares from Linux servers), document the requirements and limitations, and provide Linux-specific examples.
- Offer alternative approaches for Linux environments, such as using SFTP, NFS, or other connectors that support Linux file systems, and link to relevant documentation.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux support, so users can quickly determine applicability.
- If Linux support is not planned, suggest community or third-party solutions for Linux file system integration.
