Requisitos de hardware do MySpeed: RAM, CPU, armazenamento e histórico de testes de velocidade
Planeie o hardware do MySpeed para RAM, CPU, testes de velocidade agendados, retenção de resultados, débito de rede e implementação prática no ZimaOS.
MySpeed hardware requirements at a glance
Size MySpeed from verified upstream requirements first, then add headroom for the actual workload and persistent data.
- RAM
- No numerical official minimum published
- CPU
- No numerical official minimum published
- Storage
- Small database/history footprint that grows with retention
- Networking
- Internet throughput is the first sizing variable
- Integrations
- Prometheus and Grafana supported
- Best Zima starting point
- ZimaBoard 2 832
From official requirements to the right setup
Start with upstream facts for MySpeed, then size the workload instead of copying generic container labels.

Official minimum requirements
Upstream documents features and deployment but no numerical whole-host CPU, RAM, or disk minimum.
Do not over-size MySpeed. The most important operational effect is that scheduled tests consume real network bandwidth; retention and integrations matter more than raw application memory.
| Requirement | Official minimum | What this supports |
|---|---|---|
| No numerical official minimum published | Test clients and scheduling determine load. | |
| No numerical official minimum published | The dashboard itself is lightweight. | |
| Fully configurable | History can be kept from days to indefinitely. | |
| Ookla, LibreSpeed, Cloudflare | Provider selection changes testing behavior. | |
| Prometheus and Grafana supported | Can externalize time-series analysis. | |
| Not required | No GPU workload. |
When to upgrade your hardware
Frequent tests
WAN saturation
Long retention
Plan hardware growth with confidence
SSD app state
Keep MySpeed data on reliable persistent storage.
SSDMore RAM
Only useful if the host runs many other monitoring apps.
Higher-RAM hostLonger retention
Add storage if keeping long history or external monitoring data locally.
Larger SSDFaster network
Relevant only when the host NIC itself limits very fast internet tests.
2.5GbE/10GbE when WAN speed justifies itCan it run on ZimaOS?
Install MySpeed from the ZimaOS App Store
A specific public MySpeed App Store page is available.
Open MySpeed in the ZimaOS App Store ↗Use the upstream MySpeed project
The project documents scheduled tests, retention, providers, and integrations.
Open MySpeed repository ↗Schedule tests carefully
Speed tests intentionally consume bandwidth, so avoid peak-use windows when necessary.
Review MySpeed features ↗Zima hardware for MySpeed
MySpeed is lightweight; network scheduling and retention are more important than CPU or RAM.
Choose by workload
A ZimaBoard easily handles the application.
Choose hardware for NIC capacity and other monitoring services.
Zima recommendations are practical workload mappings, not upstream minimums.
| Zima hardware | Best for | Example workload | Core configuration | Recommended boundary | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZimaBoard 2 832 | Light self-hosted services and small home-server workloads | Single-app or small multi-app deployments |
|
8 GB RAM and the 4-core N150 can constrain heavier game servers, large scans, and multi-service consolidation | Get Now |
| ZimaBoard 2 1664 | More containers, larger caches, and memory-heavier services | Single-app or small multi-app deployments |
|
CPU throughput is unchanged from the 832 model, so compute-heavy work can still be CPU-limited | Get Now |
| ZimaCube 2 Pro | CPU-heavier, higher-concurrency, and consolidated workloads | Game servers, repeated media scans, higher concurrency, or many demanding containers |
|
16 GB RAM can still constrain very large game or database workloads | Get Now |

Zima Blade Little yet Powerful
Maybe I am not digital natives but I live with PCs since 12 years old in 1984 when IBM PC clone come to my home. Many years have passed and many operating system I've tried. For me Zima blade and CasaOS was a quantum leap for home PC enthusiast and server lab machine to make me stay curious and relevant for this era.
Very good!!
I use ZimaCube Pro as 5th Proxmox cluster node. It runs several VMs and containers, including a VM with GPU passthrough to run a self-hosted LLM. A specific LXC container runs a Samba server for NAS capabilities using four of six RAID 6 SATA HDDs with ZFS.
Great innovation for mini server!
It is very useful and makes a powerful mini server for many purposes, including university and college students in engineering and electronics. Thank you so much for making this server.
Avaliação ZimaBoard 2
Construí um servidor de uso pessoal. O desempenho está muito bom e funciona perfeitamente onde quer que eu esteja. A surpresa é não dependermos de grandes estruturas para termos nosso próprio servidor de dados. Como iniciante, estou gostando bastante do ZimaOS, pois ele é simples e eficiente.
Frequently asked questions
