DZAZ | ZimaOS App Stores

What this guide does

ZimaOS is based around CasaOS-style Docker apps, but the newer ZimaOS interface does not always show an obvious “Add Source” or “Add App Store” button inside the App Store page. The reliable method is to use the built-in casaos-cli command.

Adding these repositories expands the ZimaOS App Store with extra homelab apps, media tools, automation services, dashboards, security tools, and community Docker templates.

Third-party app stores are community-maintained. Some apps may be outdated, duplicated, broken, or require manual configuration. Only install apps from sources you trust.

Step 1: Open the ZimaOS command line

Open your ZimaOS dashboard in a browser.
Go to Settings.
Open Developer Options.
Enable the Command Line.
Launch the terminal window.

Step 2: Check your current app stores

Before adding anything new, list the app stores already registered on your system.

casaos-cli app-management list app-stores

Step 3: Add third-party app stores

Copy the command under each app store and paste it into the ZimaOS command line.

LinuxServer App Store

If you are using an Intel-based ZimaBoard or ZimaCube, you may not need the ARM-specific Cp0204 store.

Step 4: Confirm the stores were added

After adding the stores, run:

casaos-cli app-management list app-stores

The newly added app stores should now appear in the list.

Step 5: Refresh the App Store

Refresh your browser and open the ZimaOS App Store. The apps from the new sources are usually merged into the normal App Store view.

If the apps do not appear, restart CasaOS:

sudo systemctl restart casaos

Where do the apps show up?

The apps usually do not show up as separate tabs for each store. They are normally combined into the main App Store list. Use the App Store search bar to find what you want.

Search Kasm for browser-based workspaces.
Search Home Assistant for smart home apps.
Search BeEF, Webmap, or Web-Check for apps from the Pentest-Docker store.
Search Uptime Kuma, code-server, or dashboard for general homelab tools.

How to remove an app store

First list the registered app stores:

casaos-cli app-management list app-stores

Find the store ID you want to remove, then run:

casaos-cli app-management unregister app-store <store-id>

Replace <store-id> with the actual number from your list.

Final notes

Duplicate apps are normal because multiple stores may provide the same app with different Docker Compose templates. If one version fails to install, try another version from a different store.

Only use pentesting and security tools on systems, labs, and networks that you own or have explicit permission to test.
