Zimaos wants to be a personal cloud operating system.
Management is mainly with the web interface.
The zimaos team gives you root access but it is very limited.
I do not recommend modifying with the command line.

Zimaos is no longer free.
There are two versions, one free and one paid.

This procedure is based on this example.

Zimaos ip : 192.168.60.9/24.
Free version zimaos 1.5.3.
Docker version: 27.5.1.
Update December 9, 2025.

https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/ZimaOS.

wget -c https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/ZimaOS/releases/download/1.5.3/zimaos-x86_64-1.5.3_installer.iso

Hyperviseur Proxmox.
Guest Operating System : Linux 6.x-2.6 kernel.
Processor: q35
Firmware Type: EFI.
Hard disk : 40G SCSI.
Network : Bridge.
Memory : 8G.

The installation is very easy.
The zimaos team gives you root access but it is very limited.
Root first access CRTL Alt F2 avec SPICE.
Change Root password:passwd (Qwerty) and you have root.
Change keyboard: loadkeys us .

For my example, the IP address is http://192.168.60.9

http://192.168.60.9
Choose Language.
Accept the privacy policy.
Username : as you want.
Password and confirm password: as you want.
Create.
Start Dashboard.
This version is 1.5.3.

You can change the IP address manually.
I enabled https.

Zimaos uses yaml scripts for custom mode.
These scripts are "converted" to docker-compose.xml.
The docker-compose.xml file is located /var/lib/casaos/apps/<apps name>/docker-compose.xml.
You can install the apps from the command line.
docker compose -f /var/lib/casaos/apps/<apps name>/docker-compose.xml up.
You can also edit this docker-compose.xml.
But I strongly advise you to make a backup.
Because.. if you restart the installation from the graphical interface, this file will be rewritten.

You should not accept Zimaos updates without having made a complete backup of your VM.
