I’ll walk you through unboxing the ZimaBoard 2, installing CasaOS, and turning it into the ultimate DIY home server — running a Plex Media Server, Home Assistant for smart home automation, and a private Nextcloud cloud storage server.
Powered by an Intel N150 CPU, dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, PCIe expansion, and SATA storage support, the ZimaBoard 2 might just be the best budget home server for 2025. Let’s put it to the test!
