ZVM New Features Plan

:tada: ZVM New Features Plan

Dear ZimaOS Partner,

The ZimaOS Team is about to start developing new features for ZVM after fixing some critical bugs. Since its release, we have received valuable feedback, especially from the ZimaOS-Partner group. Your enthusiasm for new features has been incredibly inspiring, and weā€™ve identified several key areas for improvement:

  1. Easier access to and installation of various types of images

  2. Improved usability of detailed features

:rocket: Upgrades in the next major release of ZVM

Unprecedented ease of installing images

  • Pre-installing commonly used system images in ZimaOS, with automatic downloads for any required images

  • Support for importing custom image

Enhanced usability of detailed features in ZVM

  • Ensuring smooth operation for systems like Windows 11 and Home Assistant OS

:wrench: Additionally, the dashboard will automatically integrate the virtual machine entrance, support user-defined deletion and sorting, and simplify the access process.

These features just blew my mind.
They are awesome.
Can we add our own OS image sources?

Sureļ¼ :grinning:

This does look useful.

Currently, I canā€™t even get ZVM to work. After booting up, it seems to crash the Cube. Or at least all the storage disappears, while the Dashboard/ZVM/Files interface remain somewhatt operational.

I have encountered this phenomenon before. Have you tried reducing the memory used by ZVM? Maybe you can briefly describe what image you installed, and we will also try to reproduce the ā€œvirtual machine crashes the cubeā€ problem.

I cannot see these options on ZVM on Zimaboard and ZimaBlade

Is there any possibility to be able to auto-run an image at startup. I am running a Home Assistant OS image in ZimaOS, which works great, but I have to start is manually whenever the PC resets.
