I am also seeing this on linux based systems when running a validate. It does look like the glob command works to start the collector.
STEP 18/18: RUN /opt/otel-collector/otelcol-sumo-0.96.0-sumo-1-linux_amd64 --config /opt/otel-collector/config.yaml --config "glob:/opt/otel-collector/conf.d/*" validate

Error: unsupported scheme on URI "glob:/opt/otel-collector/conf.d/*" 2024/04/04 13:31:49 collector server run finished with error: unsupported scheme on URI "glob:/opt/otel-collector/conf.d/*"

This should be fixed as of v0.96.0-sumo-1.

@ericSpence the problem you encountered is unrelated, and specific to the validate command. It was fixed in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#10203, which will be included in version 0.102.0.
