7 Logging in to the TrueNAS Web Interface
TrueNAS uses the Multicast DNS service, also known as Bonjour or mDNS, to make the system accessible on most
networks without additional setup.
Run a web browser on another computer on the same network. Open the TrueNAS web interface by typing
truenas.local
or the IP address of the TrueNAS Mini system into the browser address bar and pressing
Enter
.
The TrueNAS web interface uses default credentials for first-time logins:
Username:
root
Password:
abcd1234
After logging in, you can change the
root
account password in
Account > Users
to increase system security.
When more than one TrueNAS device is connected to the network, mDNS can experience name conflicts. Give each
TrueNAS device a unique hostname like
truenas1.local
and
truenas2.local
to avoid this problem. The host-
name is changed in
Network > Global Configuration > Hostname
in the TrueNAS web interface.
Out of band logins have separate credentials from the TrueNAS web interface. The credentials are randomized and
attached to the back of the TrueNAS Mini chassis. For more details, see
