What this script does

Hover or tap a box to see the lines it explains.

  1. Script format

    Tells HexOS this is a version 5 install script, so it knows how to read the rest.

    Line 2

  2. Script revision

    This copy of the script is revision 0.1.0. Latest change: “Auto-generated draft from TrueNAS kerberos-agent 1.1.46”.

    Lines 3–6

  3. Questions you'll be asked

    Before installing, HexOS will ask you for: Agent name, Username and Password. Your answers are slotted into the settings further down wherever you see $QUESTION(...).

    Lines 7–26

  4. Storage locations it needs

    The app uses these HexOS storage locations: App storage (fast) and Videos. If one isn't set up yet, HexOS will ask you to pick a place for it.

    Line 28

  5. Minimum hardware

    Recommended minimum: 2 CPU cores.

    Line 29

  6. Permission to use your folders

    Allows the app to read and write files inside the storage locations listed above — and nowhere else.

    Line 30

  7. Network ports

    The app needs port 30122 to be free on your server. A port is like an apartment number for your server's address.

    Line 31

  8. Folders created on install

    Creates the folders the app needs before it starts: App storage (fast) › kerberos-agent and App storage (fast) › kerberos-agent › config. Some folders are handed to a specific system user so the app is allowed to write to them. Folders marked “snapshot” are included in HexOS snapshots, so you can roll them back.

    Lines 33–42

  9. Your answer: agent name

    Filled in with what you typed for “agent name” when you installed.

    Line 45

  10. Your answer: username

    Filled in with what you typed for “username” when you installed.

    Line 46

  11. Your answer: password

    Filled in with what you typed for “password” when you installed.

    Line 47

  12. Where the app's settings is saved

    Where the app's settings is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › kerberos-agent › config.

    Line 50

  13. Where the app's “recordings” files is saved

    Where the app's “recordings” files is saved on your server: Videos.

    Line 51

  14. Web port: 30122

    The app's web page is published on port 30122. You don't need to remember it — clicking the app's card in HexOS takes you there.

    Line 54

  15. Resource limits

    Caps how much of your server the app can use: 2 CPU cores and 10% of your server's memory, but never more than 4 GB. This keeps one busy app from slowing everything else down.

    Line 56
