Security scan results

*Medium Severity Alerts: 3

Nessus Alert ID 51192 - SSL certificate is not trustedSummary: The SSL certificate for this service is not trusted.

Nessus Alert ID 57582 - Self-signed SSL certificateSummary: The SSL certificate chain for this service ends with an unrecognized self-signed certificate.

Solution: Install a good SSL certificate to solve these problems. I'm referring toTrueNAS SCALE User Guide.

Nessus Alert ID 45411 - SSL certificate with wrong hostnameSummary: The SSL certificate for this service is for another host.

Low Severity Alerts: 1

Nessus ID 70658 - CBC opcodes enabled for SSH serversSummary: An SSH server is listening on this port.

Information notifications: 40

The remaining alerts are items that automated security scans might flag as vulnerable, but are not vulnerabilities. For example, one of the warnings listed indicates that TrueNAS uses an nginx web server. TrueNAS uses a web server to provide a user interface for system configuration. This is a normal part of TrueNAS operation. TrueNAS nginx server is updated with the latest security patches. If you have more specific security issues related to any of these notifications, please contact the iXsystems support team.

service hardening

Exposed services should be hardened according to your security requirements and according to the capabilities of your development environment. There is no "one size fits all" solution. If you have questions or comments and have a support contract with iXsystems. contact your support representative. An example of services that may warrant hardening are: nginx, ntp, openipmi, rpcbind, ssh, winbind, wsdd, etc.

What is the default username and password for NAS? ›

Username: the default username is admin. To change it, enter a username from 1-20 alphanumeric characters. Password: from 4-20 alphanumeric characters.

What is the best block size for TrueNAS? ›

Your Logical Block Size should be either 512 or 4096 - this is what the guest OS will see as the "sector size" of the drive, and Windows will expect it to be one of those two.

What is the recommended RAM size for ZFS? ›

To use ZFS, at least 1 GB of memory is recommended (for all architectures) but more is helpful as ZFS needs *lots* of memory. Depending on your workload, it may be possible to use ZFS on systems with less memory, but it requires careful tuning to avoid panics from memory exhaustion in the kernel.

How much virtual RAM should I allocate with 16GB? ›

Microsoft recommends that you set virtual memory to be no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the amount of RAM on your computer.

How do I get to jail shell TrueNAS? ›

Open the Shell and enter command iocage console jailname . Start the SSH daemon: service sshd start . The first time the service runs, the jail RSA key pair is generated and the key fingerprint is displayed. Add a user account with adduser and follow the prompts.

Does TrueNAS encrypt or not? ›

TrueNAS can encrypt new datasets within an existing unencrypted storage pool without having to encrypt the entire pool. To encrypt a single dataset, go to Storage > Pools, open the more_vert for an existing dataset, and click Add Dataset. In the Encryption Options area, unset Inherit and check Encryption.

Does TrueNAS scale have a firewall? ›

Our Truenas server sits behind a firewall and is blocked from connecting to the internet.

What is optimal RAM for TrueNAS? ›

The TrueNAS installer recommends 8 GB of RAM.

What is optimal RAM for NAS? ›

For basic use, 4GB or 8GB will suffice. If you have a business Synology NAS, we would recommend at least 16GB. If more people open and save their work on the NAS at the same time, this is very demanding for the RAM. Keep in mind that not all RAM modules are suitable for your Synology NAS.

Can I run TrueNAS with 8GB RAM? ›

TrueNAS 13 needs 16GB instead of 8GB for 12.

What to do if you forgot NAS admin password? ›

How do I sign in if I forgot the password for my administrator account?
  1. Locate the RESET button on your Synology NAS. ...
  2. Use a paper clip to gently press and hold the RESET button until you hear a beep, and then release the button immediately. ...
  3. The device and password are now reset.

What block size should I use for ZFS? ›

Aligning the ZFS block size with the device sector size avoids this read/write penalty. In contrast, setting the ZFS block size greater than the device sector size can have little or no performance penalty, indeed on devices with 512 byte blocks we recommend a 4KiB ZFS blocks size setting for future-proofing.

What is the default MTU for TrueNAS? ›

1500 and 9000 are standard Ethernet MTU sizes. Leaving blank restores the field to the default value of 1500.

What is the block size of ZFS in TrueNAS? ›

The ZFS recordsize value is used to determine the largest block of data ZFS can write out. It can be set per-dataset and can be any even power of 2 from 512 bytes up to 1MiB. The default recordsize value is 128KiB. For capacity estimation purposes, ZFS always assumes a 128KiB record.

Why is ZFS using so much RAM? ›

ZFS uses 50 % of the host memory for the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) by default. Allocating enough memory for the ARC is crucial for IO performance, so reduce it with caution. As a general rule of thumb, allocate at least 2 GiB Base + 1 GiB/TiB-Storage.

How much CPU does ZFS use? ›

ZFS compression, when used, does add additional CPU overhead. Object storage servers typically have 2 CPU sockets, with 10 or more cores per socket. 30M of CPU cache and 2.4+ GHz clock rate are recommended for best performance.

Why is ZFS better than hardware RAID? ›

Hardware RAID can sometimes yield better performance from a base config, but ZFS is far more powerful, scales better, and when properly tuned, it can yield better performance.

Is 32 GB RAM overkill? ›

32GB of RAM is considered high and is generally overkill for most users. For most everyday use and basic tasks such as web browsing, email, and basic office work, 8GB of RAM is more than enough. Even for gaming or video editing, 16GB is typically sufficient.

Is 128 GB RAM overkill? ›
