Logging In To The Truenas Web Interface; Changing Truenas Versions - TrueNAS Mini 3.0 Basic Setup Manual

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.
Open a web browser on another computer on the same network. Open the TrueNAS web interface by navigating to
truenas.local (or your Mini IP address).
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 Accounts > 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 the problem. You can change
hostnames 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 https://www.truenas.com/docs/sb-327.
For additional details about OOBM, see the Mini X or Mini X+/XL+ Out-of-Band Management guides:

7.1 Changing TrueNAS Versions

If you want to run a different version of TrueNAS, you can find new and legacy versions at truenas.com/download.
After downloading your desired version, you must use image utility like belenaEtcher or rufus to flash the ISO file to
a USB drive. Plug the flashed USB drive into a USB port on your Mini and select it from from the boot menu during
system startup.
Follow the install instructions for CORE or SCALE on our Documentation Hub.
