Hi team, I want to report a problem.
I’ve never written a problem report for anything before, so I apologize if I left anything out or if the formatting is bad.
I will describe this problem as follows:
ZimaOS, specifically the systemd zimaos-app-manager service is sending a query to registry-1.docker.io every 30 seconds.
And I can reproduce the problem like this:
I just did a fresh install in a VM on proxmox and it started right away.
I realized it was happening because I have pihole running on my network and I could see the constant queries.
And I have tried these operations to fix it:
I looked here on the forums and on the github, but I couldn’t find anyone reporting this issue.
I used the ssh web terminal to poke around using my user account that was made when first starting the server. I temporarily disabled “zimaos-app-manager.service” and the problem stopped. Of course now I could no longer use the app store.
And here are the specs of my machine:
I honestly don’t know the exact specs. It’s an old pc I had lying around. It’s running proxmox. I installed ZimaOS in a VM using usb pass-through for the installer.
It’s ZimaOS 1.5
I have been using the web client for everything. I haven’t downloaded the app yet because this setup is temporary so I can check it out and decide if I want to use it for real.
My browser is Firefox in case that’s relevant.
I don’t know if this is related, but while looking through the logs found in /var/log/casaos/ I saw that the app-manager had some issues. I’ll paste them here:

I’ve also attached a screenshot of my pihole query log. Here “test.home” is a local dns record that points to my VM running ZimaOS.
