Last changes before version 1.2.7.
OCI manager Apps
- Multi-container applications start while one of their containers is
being backed up: the start hook waits until vzdump releases it and does
not start it twice. The DHCP client of a dependency no longer keeps the
lock of the hook, so later starts do not hang, and the watchdog waits
while a dependency is locked. Installing or updating ProxMenux replaces
the published copies of the hook already in place.
- Images built from scratch with a numeric user, such as ddns-updater,
install: the container is created from a copy of the image that adds
the /etc/passwd and /etc/group Proxmox VE needs, and the application
runs with the user the image declares. The downloaded image stays
unchanged. An image with a named user and no user database stops
before anything is created, with a message that says why.
Catalog
- Twelve new applications: MDBListarr, CrossWatch, Free Games Claimer
Remaster, Cloudreve, Poznote and AceStream HTTP Proxy, suggested in
discussion #440, and the Dockur images of Chrony, Dnsmasq, Tor,
Stunnel, strfry and Statping. The catalog lists 347 applications.
- Their prompts, labels and notes are translated into the seven
languages of the menus.
Documentation
- OCI manager: architecture, lifecycle and stacks pages revised, with
larger diagrams and new screenshots.
- Contributors: the page now thanks those developing, reviewing,
translating and testing ProxMenux today and those who helped in its
first steps, with new avatars.
Tests for the stack start hook, the watchdog, the user database check
of OCI images and the Tor installation summary.
- A failed channel switch shows the installer output above the error
- Seven language catalogs plus built-in English
- The version information sample keeps the real utils.sh path and channel label
- Offline checks for terminal and website catalogs reject translations that change commands, paths, identifiers or placeholders
- Terminal and documentation texts that broke those contracts are corrected in every language
- Swedish can be chosen in the stable and beta installers
- The website routes, language switcher and exported pages cover the eight languages, with the shared website texts in each of them
- Website documentation translations are generated only when requested
- From PR #475 by @jcastro
- Open the post-install menu from the PBS menu
- List only the customizable options that apply to PBS
- Offer the PBS no-subscription repository through the native repository API
- Upgrade PBS with the package list shown before applying it
- Remove and restore the subscription notice on the PBS web interface
- Install Figurine on PBS without the Proxmox VE aliases
- Offer the Helper-Scripts PBS post-install and microcode scripts
- Tune firewall bridges after the systemd udev rules in the automated post-install
- Add PBS repository policy tests and syntax checks
- Document the PBS differences on the post-install page
- Use backups in the Spanish PBS update message
- NAS menu: FygoOS, with the latest installer published on fygonas.com detected and a fallback version
- Menu search finds the NAS menu by the name of each system
- Docs: FygoOS card and per-system notes, including its web port
- Optional Settings: new step for the ZRAM swap profile, with what it does, how it is used and how to verify it
- Uninstall Optimizations: add the ZRAM swap profile to the kernel and memory group
- Customizable: list the ZRAM swap profile in the Optional category
- lang: rewrite the Spanish ZRAM messages and add the missing space after semicolons and the initial capital in the other locales
OCI manager Apps
- "Install an image that is not in the catalog" reads an oci-compose from a file of the host or from an address.
- A file written by hand states the image, its ports, variables and volumes, and what the installation asks; the rest is completed when it is read. A complete file, or the record of an installation, is installed as it is, and of a record only the template is used.
- Errors name the field they are in, also on a host without python3-jsonschema.
- oci/README.md describes the engine and the oci-compose block by block, with two examples in oci/examples/.
- The documentation page of the option covers it, in English and Spanish.
Log2RAM (reported by @f3rs3n)
- The sync removes the old active journal file from the disk copy, so a boot no longer restores it and journald deletes its oldest archives first. Log2RAM optimization 1.7; it takes effect from the next reboot.
Translations
- The bot keeps "oci-compose" as written.
- Spanish texts for the new option and for the Log2RAM notice.
The installation record of an OCI application travels with its container:
a copy inside the container and another in /etc/pve, written together
with the one kept on the host. A container restored on a newly installed
Proxmox, restored with another ID or moved to another node of a cluster
is recognised and registered again, with its private network, hookscript,
Rclone mount, host firewall rule and NVIDIA runtime. The Monitor offers
the same recovery from the Updates tab.
AMD GPUs are offered by generation. A GPU the ROCm image supports takes
the profile as it is; one of a supported family (Radeon 680M, 780M) is an
experimental option that asks for confirmation and is never proposed; an
older one is not offered. The GPU is checked with a real inference before
the installation accepts it. Recreate changes what runs recognition in an
installed Immich, between the CPU and a GPU of the host.
Updates:
- A failed update that is restored and checked removes its temporary
container and the disks of the failed attempt.
- Every container volume is part of the backups, so Jellyfin, Plex and
Hugo update with their default installation.
- An image published with a Docker-format manifest is recognised by its
layers and build time and updates.
- The Proxmox notes of a multi-container application link to its LAN
address.
OCI manager Apps
- App tab: containers installed from an OCI image are identified from their
installation record; the application and image versions are shown and an
update is detected by image digest; repository link; Refresh data.
- Updates tab for OCI containers: Update and Recreate run the same flow as the
OCI menu in the Monitor terminal; the pre-update backup can be kept in a
backup storage; scheduled image updates with an optional minimum age.
- Logs tab: console output of the application, kept on the host
(lxc.console.logfile + logrotate) and followed live.
- The Proxmox console opens a shell (cmode: shell) when the image has one.
- A damaged image download is fetched again before failing.
- Multi-container applications open at their LAN address; volume mount
points on block storage report their usage.
Monitor
- Proxmox notifications are delivered to a loopback-only HTTP listener when
HTTPS is enabled, so they no longer fail certificate verification.
- Log persistence counts recurring patterns only; an ended burst is not
reported as persistent and its warning clears on its own (#386).
- Proxmox notification config backups are deduplicated and capped at three.
- The update icon on the Apps page opens the container on its Updates tab.
- Version 1.2.6.2-beta and its release notes in every Monitor language.
Docs
- OCI manager Apps and Audit & Report rebuilt as per-page message files,
with a new page for OCI containers in the Monitor.
- Seven pages fixed where rich-text tags were missing from t.rich.
Translations
- Spanish fixes across the OCI engine, the Monitor and the TUI menus.

Stable release consolidating the v1.2.4 beta cycle (1.2.4.1-beta and 1.2.4.2-beta) into 1.2.5.
Highlights:
- Apps dashboard: single launcher for every LXC-registered app and user-defined Custom Web Link, with category badges, search, sort and one-click deep-links back to the guest modal.
- LXC Apps & Updates end-to-end: App tab inside every guest modal, upstream version tracking, and Easy Updates that cover OS packages, registered apps, Docker Engine and per-image updates on the same 24-hour cycle.
- Application detection catalog with 380+ tracked workloads generated live from community-scripts across seven detector methods.
- Monitor now speaks 8 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Slovak and Swedish (i18n scaffolding by @vaso73).
- NVIDIA multi-GPU passthrough by exact BDF so one card can be assigned to a VM while another stays operational on the host or LXC.
- Navigation reorder, Memory & Swap real memory-pressure signal, native Pushover channel, Actions API, plus wide-reaching improvements across health, hardware, network, backup and post-install.
Full release notes: see CHANGELOG.md and https://github.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/releases
- rewrite the 15 post-install pages and the 3 hardware GPU pages so they reflect the current scripts (reversibility, tracked-tool counts, kernel parameters, per-tool commands, Alpine LXC propagation flow)
- migrate the legacy step-badge helper on post-install/optional and create-vm/synology to the canonical pill component, with the stepLabel key added in each locale
- fix rich-text i18n calls missing helpers across network, automated, optional, security, customization and the post-install landing pages, and escape the `<iface>` placeholder in automated so intl no longer parses it as a tag
- remove the mouse-follow blue overlay from the docs landing layout
- reposition the App-tab Edit button and stack the Search and Register controls vertically on mobile
- move the Bulk update Configure/Edit control into the section header so it behaves the same on desktop and mobile
- show a spinner during the final autoremove/autoclean pass of update-pve-safe so the cleanup step reads as active instead of silent
- restyle the shell spinner and msg_info in a distinctive purple and drop the unused msg_lang duplicate
- add a web-docs i18n build script and its CI workflow, plus tests for the pushover notification channel
- **VM/LXC modal** — PVE tags (dots on list cards, editable pills in modal with click-to-edit) using NVIDIA-style hash colour and SAPC contrast; Status tab redesign (single card, always-visible subsections, Edit button, autostart toggle, blue subsection icons); Backups and Firewall tabs now fill the full modal height with sticky headers/notes; stopped VMs no longer shift the metrics grid; mount-point card brightness unified across breakpoints.
- **Disks modal** — Overview / SMART / History / Schedule tabs adopt the VM/LXC modal size and the mobile icon-only tab pattern; SMART attributes table drops the 15-row cap and gains a sticky "View full SMART report" footer; Print/Save-as-PDF collapses to two icons in the report; loose i18n and layout follow-ups.
- **NVIDIA driver installer (#298)** — version picker cross-checks kernel + NVIDIA's Production/New Feature/Legacy branch classification (scraped from `nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/`) + the PCI Device IDs of every host GPU, with a release-count heuristic to keep superseded production branches selectable while dropping Vulkan-beta ones; Recommended follows same-branch head when a driver is installed, Production Branch head on a fresh install; Hardware card now shows installed alongside available driver version.
- **Custom notifications (#297)** — `event_type: "custom"` accepts `title`/`message` at the root or nested under `data`; defensive strip of stray `[TITLE]`/`[BODY]` markers echoed by the AI enhancer.
- **App tab** — new "Exclude from the LXC updates counter" toggle; the CT's aggregate updates badge now sums OS packages plus registered apps (respecting the flag); Docs page updated; App suggestion no longer treats bare OS helper slugs (alpine/ubuntu/debian…) as installable apps.
- **i18n and copy** — Monitor UI available in EN / ES / DE / FR / IT / PT / SV / SK (thanks @vaso73) surfaced as the first entry in the What's New modal with a link to the contributor's profile; ES cleanup pass (`Historial`, `Velocidad de rotación`, `Consumo actual`, `Ejecutar`, `Eliminar`, `Activar`, `Ver contenido`, `Repuesto disp.`, `Registrar`, `Ocultar`, `Descartar`); redundant "Tip: search any Linux/Proxmox command" line removed from the terminal command search across all locales.
The two Details modal screenshots were displayed in the wrong order and
both captioned as post-completion snapshots. The one named `-details.png`
was actually captured mid-run (Restore in progress badge, ~2m left) and
the one named `-card.png` after completion (Restore complete badge,
0m53s duration). Reorders the figures to running-first then completed,
and rewrites the four alt/caption entries in EN and ES to match what
each image actually shows.

Final ingredient of the v1.2.2 stable release: flip version.txt from
1.2.1 to 1.2.2 so the stable channel's update notifier picks it up
on every running install, ship the consolidated v1.2.2 entry on both
CHANGELOG.md (English) and lang/es/CHANGELOG.md (Spanish), and add
the GitHub link to Jonatan Castro on the contributors page.
CHANGELOG.md entry (and its ES mirror) consolidates the four v1.2.1.x
betas into a single stable note grouped by theme — Health Monitor
configurability, Apprise full feature parity, LXC update detection,
Coral TPU latest upstream drivers, performance optimizations (smartctl
scheduler, fail2ban cache, lxc-info /proc), HTTPS terminal handshake,
PVE 9.x kernel update detection, NVIDIA installer improvements, i18n
documentation site — plus an Acknowledgments section crediting
@jcastro (5 direct commits), @pespinel (1 commit) and @ghosthvj
(field reports that shaped the GPU + Coral work).
contributors/page.tsx: Contributor interface now carries an optional
`githubUrl`; when set, the displayed name is wrapped in an
ExternalLink to that URL (target=_blank). Jonatan Castro's entry gets
`githubUrl: https://github.com/jcastro` so users can reach his repos
from the testers grid.
After this PR merges:
- Users running `menu` will be offered the 1.2.2 upgrade
- proxmenux.com/en/changelog and /es/changelog ship the new entry
(deploy.yml triggers because CHANGELOG.md, lang/** and web/** are
all touched)
- Jonatan Castro's name on the contributors page becomes clickable
