Has Anyone Installed 3CX On A ZimaBoard?

[Jim.Lloyd]

I am thinking of getting a ZimaBoard that is based on the Intel Celeron N3450, 32GB eMMC, and 4GB or 8GB RAM. Has anyone dabbled with this unit? I am currently running on a Lenovo Mini (Intel Gen-4, I think) getting close to 8 years old and looking for a lightweight replacement.

It looks my environment is using just under 6GB of drive space, so the 32GB of 3MMC v5.1 looks like it would be plenty for my uses. I back up to an FTP server and don't have a lot of stored voice messages, so drive space will stay low. My RAM usage seems to be just over 1GB, so a 4GB model would be good. I'm not sure how well the hardware will play with the 3CX Linus OS.

I had issues with trying to run dual NICs with pfSense on the Lenovo before I repurposed it to the 3CX and pulled the second NIC. The ZimaBoard is an SBC, so I will need to make sure I shut one of them down.

Hi Jim,
I think you were the vanguard on the Zima board, did you end up progressing with it and how was it?

We've been using RPI4s, but theres been recent issues with them, thinking about moving to Zimaboard as a similar solution with an Intel chip instead.

If the hardware supports Debian 10 x86/x64 (they claim it does), then it should work.

I highly advise making sure it supports Debian 12 as well.
