- Official native downloads and container images available
- Key workload
- Library scanning + plugins + concurrent players
- Best Zima starting point
- ZimaBoard 2 832
From official requirements to the right setup
Start with upstream facts for LyrionMusicServer, then size the workload instead of copying generic container labels.

Official minimum requirements
Upstream publishes supported packages and container distribution but no numerical whole-host CPU, RAM, or storage minimum.
Do not use the ZimaOS listing's 256 MB label as an upstream official minimum. The practical variables are library size, scans, plugins, and media storage.
| Requirement | Official minimum | What this supports |
|---|---|---|
| No numerical official minimum published | Scanning and optional helpers drive CPU use. | |
| No numerical official minimum published | Depends on library scale and plugins. | |
| 9.1.1 at time of verification | Recheck before publication. | |
| Docker image available from project registries | The project links Docker Hub/GHCR. | |
| Multiple platform builds including x86_64 | Use a compatible release/container. | |
| Not required | No GPU requirement for normal music serving. |
When to upgrade your hardware
Slow scans
Storage growth
More players/plugins
Plan hardware growth with confidence
SSD metadata/cache
Keep LMS cache and app state on SSD.
SSDMore RAM
Helpful for large libraries and plugin-heavy shared hosts.
Higher-RAM hostMusic capacity
Use multi-bay HDD/SSD storage for large lossless libraries.
ZimaCube-class storageFaster CPU
Useful for large rescans and optional processing helpers.
Higher-throughput CPUCan it run on ZimaOS?
Install LyrionMusicServer from the ZimaOS App Store
A specific public App Store page is available.
Open LyrionMusicServer in the ZimaOS App Store ↗Use current LMS releases
The project publishes current native packages and container links.
Open Lyrion Music Server downloads ↗Separate media from app state
Keep the large music library on appropriate data storage rather than the system disk.
Review LMS downloads and deployment options ↗Zima hardware for LyrionMusicServer
LyrionMusicServer is light compared with video servers; music capacity and scan behavior usually drive hardware choice.
Choose by workload
Use ZimaBoard with external/SATA media storage.
Storage capacity and scan throughput become more important.
ZimaOS app-store memory labels are not treated as upstream hardware 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 |
| ZimaCube 2 Standard | Storage-heavy media, archives, downloads, and long retention | Large persistent data sets where drive bays matter more than peak CPU |
|
8 GB RAM can be lower than ZimaBoard 2 1664 for memory-heavy applications | 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
How much RAM does LyrionMusicServer need?
Upstream does not publish a universal numerical whole-host RAM minimum.
How many CPU cores does it need?
No numerical official CPU minimum is published.
Does it have Docker images?
Yes. The project links official container distribution alongside native packages.
How much storage should I plan?
Size primarily for the music library, cache, playlists, and backups.
Does it need a GPU?
No GPU requirement is published for normal audio serving.
Can ZimaBoard 2 832 run it?
Yes for a typical home music library.
What usually causes higher CPU use?
Large rescans, plugins, and optional transcoding/helper processes.
When should I choose ZimaCube 2?
When the music archive needs multi-bay capacity or scans/plugins justify stronger CPU.
