Frequently asked questions

Does the Agent need a persistent data directory?

Yes. The Agent stores state (including the certificate pin) so it survives restarts and updates.

Why does the Agent talk about a certificate pin?

If your TrueNAS uses a self-signed certificate, the Agent can pin the certificate fingerprint (TOFU). This avoids insecure “accept any certificate” behavior.

When should I reset the pin?

Only if the TrueNAS certificate was changed intentionally or you switched the TrueNAS system/host.

Can I use multiple TrueNAS systems?

NAS Guard is designed around a configured server profile. If you change the server profile, make sure the Agent connects to the intended TrueNAS system and reset the pin if required.
