Question 1

What operating systems does Tink support?

Accepted Answer

Any Linux distribution with curl and Node.js 20 or newer. The installer uses a user-local command and does not require systemd or root access.

Question 2

Does Tink run commands automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. Tink suggests fixes and waits for your explicit approval. Nothing runs without you confirming it first.

Question 3

How much resources does the Tink agent use?

Accepted Answer

Minimal. The agent idles at under 20MB RAM and near-zero CPU between scans. Scans themselves take a few seconds.

Question 4

Can I use Tink on containers?

Accepted Answer

Tink is designed for long-running servers, not ephemeral containers. For Kubernetes, point it at your nodes instead.

Question 5

What data does Tink collect?

Accepted Answer

System metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network), running services, and relevant log snippets when diagnosing issues. No application data, credentials, or file contents.
