This is perfect, i've been looking for some kind of webui for my Plex-NAS Windows 10 server, CasaOS seems perfect. I know, i have to switch to linux, that's not a problem, i have played a little bit with CasaOS in Virtualbox, and i love it :D. The reason i can't go with Truenas, Open Media Vault, etc. is because my drives are full, i would have to reformat my drives, and i have no way to save my data. For now CasaOS is perfect, thx man :D
Found this channel recently...vids are educatonal and interesting. Keep up the good work. PS. You've inspired me to do more networking projects (VLANs, pfsense, etc) to make full use of stuff I've acquired these last 3 years.
So pretty good for something like a file server, DHCP, DNS, VPN, etc. But probably not a media player, especially if you want to serve multiple clients simultaneously. I could use several of those and save a ton of money compared to building PCs for the same roles.
Pf sense box! Please make a vid when you make your new box! One hell of a media center boX! Also, can you link more than one of them together? Do they have GPIO headers? Are they compatible with other SBC’s? Seems like a good idea!! Wish it was a little cheaper! COVID now WAR!! Finally, depending if I can get a great deal on two or more of these, I can see one lil big server or several cloud servers! Gets an A- so far! Look forward to seeing your Pf sense build!!
@Raid Owl A couple of suggestions, and then my comment: First: I would have liked to have seen the CPU usage while you used the Ubuntu desktop. Second: I would have liked to have seen a lightweight Linux desktop, ( Lubuntu?, Mint with Xfce or Mate??)....and also the CPU usage. My comment: I have only recently found your channel, and while it's not as polished as others, it is becoming a favorite. You've got a 'tude and sense of humor that the other channels I watch don't have....I like it!!!! Keep it up!! Thank you for your time; Monte
Im curious as to why you care about desktop cpu usage. this device was clearly designed for server os's, what does gui rendering speed have to do with real world use case?
@@deidyomega Most will probably be installed with some sort of GUI. How much of a load on memory and CPU will just sitting on the desktop consume.... Honestly I don't remember the video that well, my comment was 6 months ago.... Probably about the time I watched it.
Could you show us how to use this like a Dell thin client to connect to a home lab vm? I am trying to get a setup like this working and think this would be a great candidate
I am looking to get one of these, but I cannot find a spec on the sata power. I want to run 2 ultrastar 7000k's on this (4TB). Anyone have any info on this?
couldn't you just remove the PCIe bracket? this is literally the product I've been looking for. Can't justify another set of hardware for my firewall, so been running it on my Unraid server (which is all I really need for docker, vms, storage) this could finally take the stress out of a reboot! Having the flexibility of a pcie slot and choosing the network card I want to use has limited me from buying other smaller solutions. Thanks for the demo edit: also could make a good TV stream box with a gtx1030!
Please tell me that you’re able to share the beard grooming tool you use cuz…it’s looking mighty fine sir! I’ve been growing mine out since no shave November and need it to look sculpted like yours.
Okay so I use an electric razor and go with a 4 for the mustache/side burns/lower lip. Then a 6 for the side and neck area. Then an 8 on the chin. Use a 0 to shape the beard to your jaw line then clean it up with a straight razor. Trim the strays with some scissors. The end.

@@RaidOwl maybe.. I've been looking high and low for that 'perfect' home server/nas that would not only combine great power usage (especially at idle - which ATX fails to do) and these specs: 4/8 core/thread low idle clocks (1.2GHz) with 3.5GHz turbos - not a hard requirement as IPC is very different between gens 4 - 5 SATAs 1-2 NVME 10GBe sfp+ OR a pci-x with enough lanes to drive a 10Gbe mellanox-x3 for example Power usage at wall :
I don’t understand why people keep hyping the zimaboard. It’s just a micro pc, extremely expensive and low powered for the price. You can get a intel n5105 for around 150$ and a n100 for like 200$. They will be much much faster than this board, with better external connectivity, 2 internal sata, wifi 6, bt 5, etc, and with removable ram so you can expand it if needed, etc. It’s clear that zimaboard is expending all their money promoting this thing, it’s absurd.
@@RaidOwl how can you disagree when you can get a n100 for around 200$ that will be 10 times as fast in single core and with 16 gb of ram and a 500 gb nvme?
Looks like a perfect little ProxMox Backup Server

I can't agree more,and I'm new fans who like this channel!
Same
Seems like the perfect device to use as a firewall (opnsense, pfsense, sophos, etc.)
perfect proxmox based firewall + access point (having that PCIe and Vt-d)
“You’re free to throw what ever weird/cringy distro you want on it” … yup sounds about right for a lot of Linux users
Thanks owl! Cool little board, just need to think of a project for it
This looks so nice and convenient. Pfsense and docker.. wow.

Me thinks you should install Untangle / Pfsense on it and see how it runs :) DO IT MAN !!! Good video BTW !
Yes! 100% this
Opnsense on Proxmox too,
The moment you pulled out htat riser card killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey man, love your vids!
I would realy like to see ZimaBoard as a device for the internet bonding if its possible. For example openmtpcrouter?
I do have same but wont recognize 10G ethernet board, I did try in an external pc it does work, anything I need to do extra to make it work?

Do a performance comparison of this SoC:
GPU passthrough VS native GPU.
so I want to make sure on this, you can't use NVMe natively with this right? It requires an adapter card plugged into the PCI-E slot?
Correct
@@RaidOwl meh
12:50 iperf does not do any other IO than network, so the storage devices (nvme or sata or emmc) are not a factor on network speed.
This board can be used to run Spinrite off of it since it's there isn't an ARM version. 2 drives at a time. All depends on power usage.
couldn't you just remove the PCIe bracket?

this seems like a good cheap way to build a kubernetes cluster
🤔🤔🤔🤔
ARM CPU (e.g. RPi) will be cheaper because the kubernetes cluster does not require an x86 CPU.
@@AdrianuX1985 but a lot of containers lack arm support, so you still might want x86 hosts.

you can remove the IO bracket on most cards, fixing the blocked video out and avoiding pcie extension cables.
Yeah I eventually did this, but it was just something worth noting
Can it run Crysis?😂 I just picked up a Edge 2. Might grab this next
UNLIKE Hackboard 2 - still waiting almost TWO years after paying - this project has actually delivered. And a vastly better product.
Could you put Pfsense on this and use it as a router/firewall?
Missed it where he said this at the end
is it possbile to turn that zemma board into a KVM

Could be used to stream at 720p with obs?
Can be used for a media server with Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, etc?
Yep but it’s transcoding will be limited
@@RaidOwl can you suggest me please a mini pc or a refurbished one to start self hosted things?
5:12..
--> VT-d
Compare performance:
GPU passthrough VS native GPU.
For home users Dell Wyse 5070.... More efficient, much cheaper, 4.5w idle, available by the tons... You're welcome ;)
I’m looking to use it as a raid file server. Can I do this?
Just unscrew the bracket from whatever expansion card you're adding :)
So I could use this and make a pfsense router.
Yessir
@@RaidOwl thanks and you do really good videos!
Look suit for OpenWRT as a router or pfsense
Just missing another 2 SATA and a nvme slot to cache read/writes..
