Pull request overview

This pull request adds two new documentation files to guide developers in setting up a development environment for flashing the RB3 board: a VM setup guide for Intel-based Macs using UTM virtualization (VM_mac.rst) and a Docker installation guide for the RB3 board (Docker.rst).

Key Changes:

  • New VM setup guide for macOS users providing step-by-step instructions for creating an Ubuntu VM on Intel Macs
  • New Docker installation and configuration guide specific to the RB3 board (ARM64 architecture)

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated 26 comments.

File Description
docs/source/VM_mac.rst Adds comprehensive documentation for setting up Ubuntu VM on Intel-based Macs using UTM, including clipboard sharing and USB passthrough configuration
docs/source/Docker.rst Adds Docker installation, verification, and configuration instructions for the RB3 board environment

Issues Found:

The Docker.rst file contains significant formatting issues. The file incorrectly mixes Markdown and reStructuredText syntax throughout:

  • The title uses Markdown syntax (#) instead of RST underlined format
  • All code blocks are wrapped in triple backticks (```), which is Markdown syntax not reStructuredText
  • Numbered list items use backslash-escaped numbers (2., 3., 4.) instead of plain numbers

The VM_mac.rst file appears to follow proper RST formatting conventions and contains no issues.

These formatting problems will prevent the documentation from rendering correctly in Sphinx and should be corrected to use proper RST syntax consistently throughout the Docker.rst file.

The section numbering uses "2." with a backslash. In reStructuredText, numbered lists should use plain numbers without escaping (e.g., "2."). The backslash is likely unintended.

Code blocks should not be wrapped in triple backticks (```). This is Markdown syntax. In reStructuredText with the code-block directive, the code should directly follow the directive without backticks.

Triple backticks (```) should not be used in reStructuredText. The previous line uses the :: syntax for a literal block, which is correct. The code content should be indented without backticks.

Adding the current user to the docker group (sudo usermod -aG docker $USER) effectively grants that user root-equivalent privileges on the host, since docker group members can start privileged containers, mount the host filesystem, and gain full control of the system. An attacker who compromises any process running as this user could escalate to root by running a crafted docker run command. If possible, prefer using sudo for specific docker commands or clearly document that joining the docker group is a privileged, admin-only action with security implications.
