My ZimaOS suddenly ghosts me :,(

I just switched to ZimaOS on proxmox. But sometimes ZimaOS just doesn’t give me any data or apps at all. Can someone help me?

From your screenshot, ZimaOS UI loads but:

  • No apps
  • Storage shows 0B
  • CPU/RAM at 0
  • QEMU disk detected

In Proxmox this is usually either DATA not mounted or Docker not running.

SSH into ZimaOS and run:

docker ps
lsblk
df -h

We’re checking:

• Is Docker running?
• Is the 2TB disk visible?
• Is /DATA mounted?

If this is intermittent, also confirm in Proxmox:

  • Disk type = VirtIO (not IDE)
  • Disk is persistent
  • No disk errors in Proxmox log

Post those three command outputs and we’ll pinpoint it cleanly.

Btw, I just checked and my disks are VirtIO, my disks are persistent and there were no disk errors on proxmox. Also I am getting some issues with Zimaos.service which I think that might be the root of the problem.

From your previous output we already know:

  • zimaos.service is failing with exit-code
  • It is stuck in a restart loop (restart counter 45)
  • The main service never reaches active state

That explains why the dashboard shows 0B storage and no apps — the backend is not staying up.

Now we need the actual crash reason.

Please run:

journalctl -u zimaos.service -n 100 --no-pager

Then confirm disk and mount status:

lsblk
df -h

We are verifying:

  • Is /DATA mounted
  • Is the 2TB QEMU disk visible
  • What error causes zimaos to exit

Post those outputs and we’ll proceed precisely.

I mounted my disks as a Raid 5 on ZimaOS.

@gelbuilding

Thanks for the detailed logs.

Your storage and RAID5 are healthy:

  • /DATA is mounted
  • RAID (md127) is active
  • Disks are visible
  • No mount issues

So this is not a storage problem.

The reason your apps are not showing is because the main backend keeps crashing.

From the logs we see this loop:

  1. zimaos.service starts
  2. HTTP server binds
  3. Service exits with status=1
  4. Restart counter increases

When the backend dies, the dashboard cannot load apps, storage info, or Docker state — so everything appears empty.

The repeating error before each crash is:

error initializing NVML ... "Driver Not Loaded"

You’re running ZimaOS inside Proxmox.

Are you passing through an NVIDIA GPU to this VM, or is this CPU-only?

That will determine the next step.

Hi, I am not passing through a NVIDIA GPU.

Thanks, that helps.

Since you’re not passing through an NVIDIA GPU, the VM is CPU-only.

However your logs clearly show:

error initializing NVML ... "Driver Not Loaded"

ZimaOS is attempting to initialize NVIDIA GPU services (NVML) inside a VM that has no GPU.

What we see in the logs:

  1. GPU init fails
  2. Service continues
  3. HTTP server starts
  4. Service exits with status=1
  5. Restart loop repeats

Because the backend keeps crashing, the dashboard cannot load apps, storage info, or Docker state, so everything appears empty.

This is not a RAID or disk issue.

This looks like GPU initialization causing the main service to terminate inside a CPU-only Proxmox VM.

At this point this may be a 1.5.4 regression in VM environments without GPU.

Let’s confirm your ZimaOS version:

cat /etc/os-release

Then we can determine the safest next step.

So I stopped and restarted my vm. Now everything is failing. Is that normal?

Good to hear

Thanks for confirming you’re on v1.5.4 (ZimaCube variant).

Since it’s now working, it would really help others if you could share what you changed or adjusted in Proxmox to resolve it.

That way we can better understand whether this was:

  • A VM configuration issue
  • A timing/init issue
  • Or something else

Appreciate the update.

I meant that now I can open it, but I can’t see my apps now. Actually, now it’s even worse, now I can’t even see my GUI.

It’s still unstable.

The blank GUI means the frontend loads, but the backend service is crashing or restarting in the background.

Your earlier logs show zimaos.service exiting repeatedly after NVML initialization fails.

Let’s confirm if it’s still looping.

Please run:

systemctl status zimaos.service

If you see “activating (auto-restart)” or a high restart counter, the service is still crashing.

Also run:

journalctl -u zimaos.service -n 30 --no-pager

We need to confirm whether the crash pattern is still the same.

It’s ok, thanks for your help. I ultimately decided to just create a new vm and that’s working so far. Thank you very much!
