When your ZimaBoard has access to CasaOS, you can use CasaOS terminal queries.
When your ZimaBoard is unable to access CasaOS by filling in CasaOS.local, the following two options can help you find the IP address.
Go to your router settings and look for CasaOS IP
TIPS
Prerequisite
- Make sure your ZimaBoard is connected to the router
- Make sure you know the router administrator password
- Make sure your computer is connected to the router or the router’s Wi-Fi network
TIPS
Common router IP addresses are
- 192.168.0.1
- 192.168.1.254 (BT Home Hubs)
- 192.168.1.1
In rare cases, you might need to add a colon and a port number at the end (such as 192.168.0.1:443), but most home routers won’t need this. If it goes well, you can now see your router login screen. After logging in, you will be able to see your CasaOS IP.
use LanScan/Advanced IP Scanner to query IP Address
LanScan is a free, simple and effective Mac X OS Network scanner that discovers all active devices on your Local Area Network (LAN)
Software Download Address—“LanScan“
Reliable and free network scanner to analyse LAN. The program shows all network devices, gives you access to shared folders, provides remote control of computers (via RDP and Radmin), and can even remotely switch computers off. It is easy to use and runs as a portable edition.

You may be asked to enter your system password during the process, just enter it and click OK.
The whole process will take a few minutes, depending on the size of your system image and your USB drive’s read/write speed.
Remove the USB drive, and you’re ready to go!
Connect your USB drive, monitor, keyboard,USB hub
(Optional), mouse
(Optional), network cable
(Recommended) to ZimaBoard.
Connect power and press F11 continuously.
1. Select your USB drive starting with UEFI in the boot device menu.
2. Wait a few minutes
3. Select the first one
4. Enter y
5. Wait a few minutes
6. Select the first one
Finish the installation after the countdown!!!!
Note:when selecting storage, please take care to select the correct disk
Because operating systems and storage vendors calculate storage space sizes differently, the capacity you see when installing your system is not the same as the hardware capacity. You can tell the difference by the type of disk and the approximate size.
The built-in storage type of the ZimaBoard is eMMC, which may also be recognized as an MMC device in the operating system.
Attention! You may need to modify the boot sequence in BIOS or select the boot device at boot time if you install the OS to an external hard disk.

COVID-19 forced us to spend more time with our families. Previously, there was an introduction on how to build a home version of a 4K theater using ZimaBoard. Recently the theater is no longer enough for the family. So we found some fun games at home that are more suitable for adults and children. Good games can make family members closerand improve kid’s creative abilities.
Minecraft is a sandbox building game created by Markus Persson, founder of Mojang AB, and inspired by Endless Miner, Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper. The current lead developer is Jens Bergensten. Players can create and destroy a myriad of cubes in the game’s three-dimensional space and even experience different game modes on multiplayer servers versus single-player worlds to create exquisite buildings, creations, and artwork

]]>With a ZimaBoard performance somewhere between a Raspberry Pi and a MicroServer and a price positioning, the best use for the ZimaBoard for many gamers is undoubtedly to be a hundred-dollar, customizable, OpenWRT / pfSense x86 router with enough arithmetic power.
Based on this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to use the ZimaBoard’s pre-built system. After a few steps, this will pave the way for you to play around with the routing system you are familiar with.
Tips:
- This tutorial will install OpenWRT directly onto the ZimaBoard’s eMMC, overwrite and remove the pre-installed operating system. Please also save and backup your original system user data!
- OpenWRT Image, e.g., an image file with the .img suffix! If the .gz
On the PC, log in to ZimaBoard’s CasaOS panel via casaos.local
1. Upload the OpenWRT image prepared on your PC to the ZimaBoard storage
a.Click on the Files application, select a directory and click on the Upload Files button
2. From the local path, select Upload your OpenWRT image
3.Wait for the upload to complete

(Users can change the default password after the first login)
Users can customize the layout of the Dashboard through the settings (gear-shaped button) in the upper right corner.
Users -> Group -> Create
When creating a new user group, the user can add the newly created user ID to this user group.
Users -> Users -> Create
The new user belongs to the user group by default, but users can also customize the user group according to their actual needs to differentiate their use.
The permissions of the shared folder set the new user’s access rights to the shared folder (please refer to the tutorial content of the shared folder)
Storage - File Systems - Mounting Ext3/4 partitions (Mount)
OMV supports direct mounting of existing Ext3 or Ext4 partitions, if the currently connected hard disk does not have such partitions, the relevant disk management (partitioning or formatting) can be performed on the existing partitions of the hard disk
Mounted partitions are a prerequisite for new shared folders
Storage -> Shared Folders -> Create
Users can choose to create a new shared folder in the mounted partition and set the appropriate access rights (read/write)
System -> Update Management -> Updates
System updates are usually official system patches or updated contents of OMV, so it is recommended to operate this after initialization.
System -> Plugins
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, OMV is a Debian Linux-based network attached storage (NAS) solution for a home environment or small office, and its official plug-in library can meet most of the user’s daily application requirements.
Must install plug-in recommendation
- File manager: Filebrowser
- Netbook: Onedrive
- Image Manager: Photoprism
- Airport Push: Shairport
- OMV system partition sharing: sharerootfs (if the user wants to experience and use Zima’s emmc as a shared folder without an external hard drive)
- Virtual Machine Manager: Kvm
- SSH terminal browser: Wetty
In the process of daily use, most users will find that, only after a short time, they have to re-enter their login credentials. This is because the default automatic logout time of OMV is only 5 minutes. System - Workbench - Auto logout.
Set the time a little longer to solve this problem.
Some users find that when they use data synchronization, they have set it to synchronize data every afternoon. Yet, it actually synchronizes data early in the morning. This is because users do not set their own time zone. To solve this, go to System - Date & Time - Time Zone
The small bell in the upper right corner of the OMV desktop often pops up redundant notifications, which users often find annoying since they are irrelevant. The user simply needs to go to System - Notification - Notifications
to turn off notifications that are not relevant to them.
For some users, because of the environmental factors of the LAN, the OMV address will always change. You can use Host (openmediavault.local/) to access the management page, but the actual application operation is still not very convenient. So, users should go to the Network -> Interface
to modify the existing network interface IP from the default DHCP’s variable IP address to Static’s fixed IP address.SMB/CIFS
SMB service is one of the most basic NAS applications; first-time users of OMV will encounter the embarrassment of not being able to create SMB service correctly. In fact, users just need to follow the steps in this guide to complete the initialization of the three elements of the shared folder settings, the creation of SMB service can be easily fixed (the same as NFS service open).

In addition to the official plug-ins that come with the system, OMV also has a large library of fan-built/maintained community plug-ins, the most important of which is full support for Docker.
a) Users can use the official plug-in Wetty [Services (Services) - Wetty] recommended in the previous article
b) Open the web version of Wetty’s SSH browser and log in by entering the root account and password set during system installation.
c) Login and enter:wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash
d) Once the community plug-in repository is installed, users can install Docker
a) Login to Wetty's SSH with the root account password and enter.wget -qO- https://get.casaos.io | sudo bash
b) After the installation is completed, users must remember the CasaOS login address.
c) Enter CasaOS home page, and users can easily enjoy customized Docker application collection.
AAs a Debian Linux-based network attached storage (NAS) solution for a home environment or small office, OMV's system is small enough to help users meet their daily needs with its own plug-in library, plus a large Docker library and our user-tailored CasaOS, compared to other large NAS systems on the market such as Synology, QNAP and UNAS.
]]>To meet the needs of installing their own application load, CasaOS provides users with a variety of ways to install. This document will help you to find more Docker applications and use them by simply copying them. The recommended search site for this document is linuxserver.io
As described on their official website.
We are a group of like-minded enthusiasts from across the world who build and maintain the largest collection of Docker images on the web, and at our core are the principles behind Free and Open Source Software. Our primary goal is to provide easy-to-use and streamlined Docker images with clear and concise documentation.
Yes, I think they’ve achieved that!
Step 1 OpenLinuxServer and click ’fleet’
Step 2 Search for the application you want in ’fleet’
Example: Installing the Apprise API on CasaOS and using it
Apprise allows you to send notifications to almost all of the most popular notification services we have available today, such as Telegram, Discord, Slack, Amazon SNS, Gotify, and more. This API provides a simple gateway to access it directly through an HTTP interface. Apprise API installation on CasaOS
Go to the Apprise API hub and copy the appropriate Docker CLI -apprise-api
Open CasaOS and go to the user-defined installation screen, paste in and wait for the installation.
This can take a few minutes
Attention
AutoFill only helps you to complete some of the configuration information,
including:
The above is the Apprise API installation method, and the same is true for other applications. But note: each application itself requires certain conditions.
Several parts need to be checked in the Docker Hub interface during installation。
For example

OMV supports direct mounting of existing Ext3 or Ext4 partitions, if the currently connected hard disk does not have such partitions, the relevant disk management (partitioning or formatting) can be performed on the existing partitions of the hard disk
Mounted partitions are a prerequisite for new shared folders
Storage -> Shared Folders -> Create
Users can choose to create a new shared folder in the mounted partition and set the appropriate access rights (read/write)
System -> Update Management -> Updates
System updates are usually official system patches or updated contents of OMV, so it is recommended to operate this after initialization.
System -> Plugins
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, OMV is a Debian Linux-based network attached storage (NAS) solution for a home environment or small office, and its official plug-in library can meet most of the user’s daily application requirements.
Must install plug-in recommendation
- File manager: Filebrowser
- Netbook: Onedrive
- Image Manager: Photoprism
- Airport Push: Shairport
- OMV system partition sharing: sharerootfs (if the user wants to experience and use Zima’s emmc as a shared folder without an external hard drive)
- Virtual Machine Manager: Kvm
- SSH terminal browser: Wetty
In the process of daily use, most users will find that, only after a short time, they have to re-enter their login credentials. This is because the default automatic logout time of OMV is only 5 minutes. System - Workbench - Auto logout.
Set the time a little longer to solve this problem.
Some users find that when they use data synchronization, they have set it to synchronize data every afternoon. Yet, it actually synchronizes data early in the morning. This is because users do not set their own time zone. To solve this, go to System - Date & Time - Time Zone
The small bell in the upper right corner of the OMV desktop often pops up redundant notifications, which users often find annoying since they are irrelevant. The user simply needs to go to System - Notification - Notifications
to turn off notifications that are not relevant to them.
For some users, because of the environmental factors of the LAN, the OMV address will always change. You can use Host (openmediavault.local/) to access the management page, but the actual application operation is still not very convenient. So, users should go to the Network -> Interface
to modify the existing network interface IP from the default DHCP’s variable IP address to Static’s fixed IP address.SMB/CIFS
SMB service is one of the most basic NAS applications; first-time users of OMV will encounter the embarrassment of not being able to create SMB service correctly. In fact, users just need to follow the steps in this guide to complete the initialization of the three elements of the shared folder settings, the creation of SMB service can be easily fixed (the same as NFS service open).

In addition to the official plug-ins that come with the system, OMV also has a large library of fan-built/maintained community plug-ins, the most important of which is full support for Docker.
a) Users can use the official plug-in Wetty [Services (Services) - Wetty] recommended in the previous article
b) Open the web version of Wetty’s SSH browser and log in by entering the root account and password set during system installation.
c) Login and enter:wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash
d) Once the community plug-in repository is installed, users can install Docker
a) Login to Wetty's SSH with the root account password and enter.wget -qO- https://get.casaos.io | sudo bash
b) After the installation is completed, users must remember the CasaOS login address.
c) Enter CasaOS home page, and users can easily enjoy customized Docker application collection.
AAs a Debian Linux-based network attached storage (NAS) solution for a home environment or small office, OMV's system is small enough to help users meet their daily needs with its own plug-in library, plus a large Docker library and our user-tailored CasaOS, compared to other large NAS systems on the market such as Synology, QNAP and UNAS.

I’m Lauren from the Zima team—thank you for your interest. Let me briefly introduce Zima.
Zima’s early team comprised young, tech-savvy individuals passionate about NAS, router, and PC design and innovation, primarily engineers. In 2021, we came together to build the Zima brand.
It all started with an observation: in the next decade, could every household have a small private cloud device? This could serve as a data asset manager for individuals and small organizations, the hub of a smart home, or even a local AI-powered Jarvis. You might call it a NAS, a home server, or something else, but we believe what truly matters is granting everyone the right to their own cloud. This means relying on personal devices to manage personal data and smart services. It should be secure, reliable, locally-focused, and user-friendly—a privatized device.
With this assumption, we embarked on Zima’s journey of building and exploration.
https://www.zimaspace.com/products/cube-personal-cloud
ZimaCube is our flagship private cloud device launched in 2023 for professional users. Through Kickstarter, we garnered support from 1,252 backers and became one of the Top 30 hardware projects on Kickstarter for 2023. The NAS industry, decades old, has established players with stable footings in storage technology and market share. As a young company, we aim to bring fresh perspectives and value to this sector. |
The ZimaCube Pro features an i5-level processor, 10-core processing capabilities, and Thunderbolt interfaces that meet gigabyte-level per-second transfer demands. With storage options for four SSDs and six HDDs, it easily meets the multimedia management needs of mainstream creators and small studios. Its multi-lane PCIe expandability also offers excellent potential for SSD RAID setups, SAS components, or GPU-level computational power expansions.
Pre-installed with ZimaOS, the ZimaCube is ready to use out of the box, requiring minimal technical knowledge. Set up your multimedia management center, local AI, or Agent applications in one step.
| (Based on CasaOS)
ZimaOS is a full personal cloud OS developed by the team based on CasaOS. It is a complete operating system with system-level support for remote access, RAID configuration, and essential features like OTA updates. It is designed specifically for ZimaCube, focusing on stability, unified data management, and local LLM capabilities. Unlike traditional NAS devices that often feature complex setups, ZimaOS offers a sleek and elegant design philosophy, tailored for home and SOHO environments. It inherits from the CasaOS community, which over the past few years has grown to include over 20,000 Discord community users who participate in the governance and iteration of the app store. The store features hundreds of third-party applications, covering media servers, music servers, downloaders, web scrapers, web servers, git servers, smart home technologies, and more. Recently, it has increasingly supported applications like ChatGPT UI, Diffusion, and other text-to-image and local chat AI capabilities. |
https://www.zimaspace.com/products/single-board-server
ZimaBoard is the first compact server in the Zima product line, designed specifically for home server scenarios. Initially, its product definition stemmed from considerations in hosting, homelabs, clustering, and network security. This server is a micro x86 system priced within the hundred-dollar range, featuring a small form factor with PCIe expansion capabilities. Its x86 processor ensures excellent system compatibility and the ability to deploy various applications, effortlessly running multiple Docker applications. |
https://www.zimaspace.com/products/blade-personal-nas
Following widespread community support and interest in ZimaBoard, we began to explore building a more focused desktop setup—a compact 2 Bay DIY NAS solution. The ZimaBlade NAS Kit represents an interim response from the Zima team. Compared to the ZimaBoard, the ZimaBlade is further reduced in size by one-third and has scaled-down networking capabilities. However, paired with a 2 Bay HDD Stand, it allows for a compact, brick-sized desktop DIY NAS setup. Priced at only $160, with quad-core performance and PCIe expansion capabilities, it can handle most NAS applications and data processing needs. Pre-installed with CasaOS, it's ready to use right out of the box, making it an excellent choice for those new to NAS systems. |
As previously mentioned, the Zima product line is dedicated to providing personal cloud products for creators and professional users. These products are professional, user-friendly, and designed to meet the diverse needs of home and studio settings, offering a wealth of applications. They support daily workflows and data asset management, safeguard family privacy, and offer system-level software and hardware scalability, allowing professionals customizable options. To achieve these features, we need to define our own software and hardware.
We believe that in an era of AI, the data assets of every studio and individual will become increasingly vital. All internet companies are vying to monitor everyone’s actions and the data they produce. However, as individuals and small organizations, we cannot stop technological progress, but we can use “magic to fight magic.” We believe in building private AI for everyone, a private cloud to manage your scattered personal and organizational data. Syncing data from Notion, Google Drive, personal photo albums, and using this data to build a privatized Agent will be a main theme in the computing industry.
This will bring about a personalized Agent for everyone, fostering democratized AI.
From day one, the Zima product line has received support from the Kickstarter community. In terms of software, the development of CasaOS on GitHub and the exploration of ZimaOS could not have progressed without the participation and suggestions of a succession of outstanding engineers and enthusiasts from the community. We always adhere to listening, thinking, and taking action. The community’s suggestions permeate every aspect of Zima’s hardware and software products and operations. From major product line planning to the selection of logistics service providers, we continuously focus on the community’s ideas for Zima’s iteration and drive our updates and direction based on community feedback.
We sincerely invite you to join our community of thousands - https://discord.gg/f9nzbmpMtU
A continuously evolving hardware and software setup needs your input. Through this link, you can directly submit your desired hardware and software requirements, or provide suggestions for revisions to our documentation scope. We look forward to your suggestions.
Let’s begin our exploration of the Zima hardware and ZimaOS, covering initial usage, applications, secondary development, local LLM, and much more.

Zima’s early team comprised young, tech-savvy individuals passionate about NAS, router, and PC design and innovation, primarily engineers. In 2021, we came together to build the Zima brand.
It all started with an observation: in the next decade, could every household have a small private cloud device? This could serve as a data asset manager for individuals and small organizations, the hub of a smart home, or even a local AI-powered Jarvis. You might call it a NAS, a home server, or something else, but we believe what truly matters is granting everyone the right to their own cloud. This means relying on personal devices to manage personal data and smart services. It should be secure, reliable, locally-focused, and user-friendly—a privatized device.
With this assumption, we embarked on Zima’s journey of building and exploration.

ZimaCube is our flagship private cloud device launched in 2023 for professional users. Through Kickstarter, we garnered support from 1,252 backers and became one of the Top 30 hardware projects on Kickstarter for 2023. The NAS industry, decades old, has established players with stable footings in storage technology and market share. As a young company, we aim to bring fresh perspectives and value to this sector. |
The ZimaCube Pro features an i5-level processor, 10-core processing capabilities, and Thunderbolt interfaces that meet gigabyte-level per-second transfer demands. With storage options for four SSDs and six HDDs, it easily meets the multimedia management needs of mainstream creators and small studios. Its multi-lane PCIe expandability also offers excellent potential for SSD RAID setups, SAS components, or GPU-level computational power expansions.
Pre-installed with ZimaOS, the ZimaCube is ready to use out of the box, requiring minimal technical knowledge. Set up your multimedia management center, local AI, or Agent applications in one step.

ZimaOS is a full personal cloud OS developed by the team based on CasaOS. It is a complete operating system with system-level support for remote access, RAID configuration, and essential features like OTA updates. It is designed specifically for ZimaCube, focusing on stability, unified data management, and local LLM capabilities. Unlike traditional NAS devices that often feature complex setups, ZimaOS offers a sleek and elegant design philosophy, tailored for home and SOHO environments. It inherits from the CasaOS community, which over the past few years has grown to include over 20,000 Discord community users who participate in the governance and iteration of the app store. The store features hundreds of third-party applications, covering media servers, music servers, downloaders, web scrapers, web servers, git servers, smart home technologies, and more. Recently, it has increasingly supported applications like ChatGPT UI, Diffusion, and other text-to-image and local chat AI capabilities. |

ZimaBoard is the first compact server in the Zima product line, designed specifically for home server scenarios. Initially, its product definition stemmed from considerations in hosting, homelabs, clustering, and network security. This server is a micro x86 system priced within the hundred-dollar range, featuring a small form factor with PCIe expansion capabilities. Its x86 processor ensures excellent system compatibility and the ability to deploy various applications, effortlessly running multiple Docker applications. |

Following widespread community support and interest in ZimaBoard, we began to explore building a more focused desktop setup—a compact 2 Bay DIY NAS solution. The ZimaBlade NAS Kit represents an interim response from the Zima team. Compared to the ZimaBoard, the ZimaBlade is further reduced in size by one-third and has scaled-down networking capabilities. However, paired with a 2 Bay HDD Stand, it allows for a compact, brick-sized desktop DIY NAS setup. Priced at only $160, with quad-core performance and PCIe expansion capabilities, it can handle most NAS applications and data processing needs. Pre-installed with CasaOS, it's ready to use right out of the box, making it an excellent choice for those new to NAS systems. |
As previously mentioned, the Zima product line is dedicated to providing personal cloud products for creators and professional users. These products are professional, user-friendly, and designed to meet the diverse needs of home and studio settings, offering a wealth of applications. They support daily workflows and data asset management, safeguard family privacy, and offer system-level software and hardware scalability, allowing professionals customizable options. To achieve these features, we need to define our own software and hardware.
We believe that in an era of AI, the data assets of every studio and individual will become increasingly vital. All internet companies are vying to monitor everyone’s actions and the data they produce. However, as individuals and small organizations, we cannot stop technological progress, but we can use “magic to fight magic.” We believe in building private AI for everyone, a private cloud to manage your scattered personal and organizational data. Syncing data from Notion, Google Drive, personal photo albums, and using this data to build a privatized Agent will be a main theme in the computing industry.
This will bring about a personalized Agent for everyone, fostering democratized AI.
From day one, the Zima product line has received support from the Kickstarter community. In terms of software, the development of CasaOS on GitHub and the exploration of ZimaOS could not have progressed without the participation and suggestions of a succession of outstanding engineers and enthusiasts from the community. We always adhere to listening, thinking, and taking action. The community’s suggestions permeate every aspect of Zima’s hardware and software products and operations. From major product line planning to the selection of logistics service providers, we continuously focus on the community’s ideas for Zima’s iteration and drive our updates and direction based on community feedback.
