Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, with exclusive references to Windows tools (PowerShell, Local Security Policy, Visual Studio/SSDT), Windows authentication, and Windows file paths. There are no examples or instructions for Linux or macOS users, and all command-line and configuration guidance assumes a Windows OS. This creates significant friction for users wishing to deploy self-hosted IR on Linux or macOS, or those who prefer cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state OS requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation.
  • If self-hosted IR is Windows-only, make this explicit and provide rationale.
  • If Linux/macOS support exists or is planned, add equivalent instructions for those platforms (e.g., bash scripts, Linux service management, alternative authentication methods).
  • Provide cross-platform alternatives for PowerShell commands, such as Azure CLI or REST API examples.
  • Clarify whether Visual Studio/SSDT is required for package design or if alternatives exist for non-Windows users.
  • Mention where logs are stored on non-Windows platforms, if supported.
  • Add a section summarizing platform support and any workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
