Password:openmediavault
(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.

]]>Getting started with ZimaOS is very simple. The overall system design focuses on simplicity and language consistency. Our goal is to ensure that using, sharing, and managing data on a private cloud is a seamless, elegant, and fast experience.
Throughout the setup process, the Zima client application establishes all connections between your laptop or iMac and the ZimaCube, providing the foundation for access, high-speed transfers, and remote experiences. After installing the client app, simply follow the guided steps to complete the ZimaCube initialization.
https://find.zimaspace.com/ and install ZimaClient. It will automatically scan for available devices.
If you prefer to use the web interface, you can visit the website. Please make sure your device is connected to the same network as ZimaCube. Scan on the web page, and after the scan is completed, you will see a list of available ZimaCube devices. Just click on the corresponding device to connect to ZimaOS.
After successfully connecting to ZimaCube, enter the corresponding IP address to enter the ZimaOS initialization interface, where you can start configuring your ZimaCube.
Currently ZimaOS supports 6 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Norwegian. Choose the language you are most familiar with to ensure the best user experience.
Next, you will need to create a user account. This account will be the primary way you manage ZimaOS. Please set a secure username and password to protect your data and settings.
After initialization, ZimaOS will provide you with a brief introduction to the functions and usage guide. This will help you understand the main features and usage of ZimaOS. You can learn about:
Accessibility is foundational for private clouds, and configuring network settings on most NAS devices can be quite complex. ZimaOS aims to offer a plug-and-play remote access experience that is both secure and reliable, without any risk of cloud forwarding or data leakage.
Thus, once you install the Zima Client application and scan to connect to ZimaOS for the first time, your remote access channel is already set up!
You can connect to your ZimaCube at home or in the office from anywhere using your MacBook or laptop without any additional configurations. The connection between your laptop and ZimaCube is automatically established by the Zima Client Application and ZimaOS, utilizing P2P communication to build the connection. Data transfers between the two are encrypted, ensuring all data transmissions are peer-to-peer.
For complete control, you can also log into the settings panel to turn off the remote access feature with just one click.
Files focuses on unified management for creators and personal data, offering a streamlined storage and file access experience. It undoubtedly resembles a local cloud storage service. However, unlike mainstream cloud storage services, its speed can reach GB/s via Thunderbolt, and with Wi-Fi 6 wireless networks, it can achieve over 100MB/s in material synchronization and file preview experiences. This provides optimal speeds for backing up large quantities of personal images or video content, including 4K.
Files offers video previews, pinning, and cloud storage expansion features, effectively meeting your needs for content access and unifying data across cloud services. Common uses include sharing a set of materials within a small team or pinning your most frequently used project folders for easy access.
While 100MB/s performance generally satisfies most preview and editing needs, if you require extreme speeds, ZimaCube’s 10GbE or Thunderbolt capabilities are excellent options.
Thunderbolt, a method not to be overlooked by professional editors or users seeking peak transfer performance, is utilized with ZimaCube. It offers data transfer speeds exceeding 1GB/s, with theoretical read-write speeds reaching up to 20Gbps.
However, it shouldn’t be complicated—it should be as simple as connecting a Thunderbolt cable and using it immediately. Yes, through the Zima Client application and ZimaOS. Once the Thunderbolt cable is connected, simply re-access ZimaOS via the Zima Client application to experience the fastest editing, material access, or Samba share speeds. No additional configurations are necessary; the system and applications will automatically handle everything for you.
Creating a space within a local area network (LAN) where a team can directly edit, or enabling direct access to local network storage from devices like TVs and VR headsets, Samba is often the go-to choice for many. Setting up and managing Samba on ZimaOS continues to offer the system’s inherent ease and smoothness. You can easily create a LAN share by right-clicking any folder in Files.
Interestingly, when combined with the Zima Client’s remote access feature, you can even remotely load storage spaces and directly edit files within that remote space. This offers a compelling and simple solution for collaboration and remote work.
Through the settings panel, you can directly create different users and assign corresponding content access permissions, tailoring accessibility as needed for your team or family.
Today, everyone’s data is incredibly scattered—some in Notion, some in Slack, and plenty in email. We believe personal or small team data should be more unified. It doesn’t necessarily need to reside on a private cloud, but the management should be centralized. With this philosophy in mind, ZimaOS’s first step is to enable management of your cloud storage data, NAS data, or data on Zima devices through a single system interface.
With the Add feature in Files, you can easily link your Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or local Samba shared folders with one click, all from a single, elegant file manager. This allows for batch or unified management of your personal data.
This means if you find Google Drive’s data management no longer trustworthy or economical, you can batch migrate data from Google Drive to Dropbox or any other medium of your choice. This will be very exciting, and based on this idea, we will offer more effective personal data management solutions.
RAID is a core feature essential for existing NAS users. ZimaOS now supports three RAID modes: RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5. These options provide redundancy backup solutions for your personal data storage, offering protection against the unpredictable risk of hard drive failures.
RAID 0 is an option that exists primarily to maximize read and write performance and to unify storage space, without any redundancy mechanism. RAID 1 offers a safe and reliable solution, storing your data on two identical hard drives, halving the space but doubling the safety. RAID 5, through the configuration of three disks, maximizes storage space while providing a redundancy mechanism.
If you’re interested in ZFS or more advanced RAID configurations, you can build these through the system-level interfaces provided by ZimaOS.
Based on virtualization technology, you can further utilize the computing resources on your ZimaCube hardware. For instance, you can use your NAS as a Windows desktop host, a segregated Debian development environment, or even as a routing system to manage your network. VM capabilities are still in the early stages, and we are continuously refining its more advanced features based on community feedback.
It’s a straightforward dessert feature: all mobile phones, laptops, or client devices within the same local area network created by ZimaOS can freely perform peer-to-peer transfers of individual files when they open a link shared by ZimaOS.
The AppStore almost entirely inherits all features from CasaOS, offering over a hundred privatized applications that can be deployed with just one click. These include popular media server apps like Plex and Jellyfin, smart home applications like Home Assistant and Homebridge, and privatized document and team collaboration tools such as Notion and Affinity.
Recent popular local AI applications like OpenWeb UI and Stable Diffusion can also be installed and activated with just one click.
There are many scenarios and uses to explore, waiting for you to unlock. We will gradually showcase these to you through upcoming content.
