ProxMenux modifies the host: it rewrites configuration files, installs packages, enables services. Until now nobody could say afterwards what had changed, and showing the script does not answer that question — a four-hundred-line function may alter two values, and the reader has no way to know which two. This adds the two halves of an answer.
The change journal records what ProxMenux does as it does it. Eleven bash primitives capture the previous state, apply the change and record it in the same step, writing to a spool that the Monitor reads back. One hundred and thirteen functions across twenty-five scripts are instrumented, covering post-install, shared storage, security tooling, container conversions, disk operations and the PVE 8 to 9 upgrade path. The page shows the difference — rotate 7 becoming rotate 14 — and never the script. Restore and backup scripts are deliberately left out: a restore puts the host back to a state some other script already recorded.
The Audit and reports page answers the other half: what state is this host in, regardless of who put it there. Forty-three checks across seven areas read the host and classify each result as critical, warning, observation, conformant, unverified or not applicable, with the evidence they read attached to each one. A declared policy lets the reader say what this particular host is expected to do — which guests must have a backup, which storages are essential — so the report judges the host against its own intent rather than a generic template. An inventory records the hardware, network and guest topology behind those readings, a comparison shows what moved between two runs, and six report profiles produce a printable document scoped to what the reader needs. Everything is available in the eight supported languages.

- safely migrate historical Bashrc and Log2RAM installations
- align post-install function versions across both flows
- bundle gevent runtimes for CPython 3.11 and 3.13
- select the correct Python ABI at runtime
- validate both supported Proxmox VE Python versions in AppImage workflows
- fix#327, #328 and #331
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
Modal caches now refresh on events only — the periodic prewarmer runs one-shot at startup, mount points split into static/runtime endpoints, and backups get a client 6-hour gate. Updates tab shows post-apply feedback and the script terminal no longer closes the parent modal. Settings adds edit gating on 3 cards with the 3-level contrast rule applied consistently. ES translation batch (~25 fixes) and What's New for 1.2.4.1-beta refreshed.
Bump FUNC_VERSION from 1.1 to 1.2 in the setup_persistent_network wrapper
for both customizable and auto post_install variants.
Rationale:
The generator pmx_setup_persistent_network in utils-install-functions.sh
now emits `.link` files with Kind=!bridge (PR #280), so existing installs
need their `.link` files regenerated to pick up the fix. Bumping the
wrapper's FUNC_VERSION triggers the Monitor + CLI post-install version
tracker to surface persistent_network as a pending update, prompting
users to re-run the optimization — which regenerates the files with the
fix applied.
Not touched:
- network_menu.sh copy of setup_persistent_network: uses a simpler
register_tool() that doesn't track versions (menu-driven invocation
is on-demand, not tracked as auto-update-eligible by design).
