- On a PBS host the Monitor no longer starts the node metrics and VM prewarmers, the LXC update scheduler, the managed installs detector or the app update emitter, which read guests and PVE metrics that do not exist there
- pmx_require_pve refuses only a host known to be PBS, so an unreadable package list leaves the PVE scripts working as before
- The PBS menu numbers its options, shows the tables proxmox-backup-manager prints instead of raw JSON, and says Goodbye on exit
- The PBS update asks to press Enter before returning
- Spanish: Datastores de PBS
- An explicit --devices list makes LVM open every device in it, while a plain scan opens only known volumes; the list now names only LVM physical volumes, read from udev by lsblk, so no other disk is touched
- RAID, multipath and encrypted volumes follow the disks they are built on, instead of turning the whole check off
- After each pvs, lvs or vgs run, the disks it read take their counters as the new baseline, so an unused disk can become idle
- Each host backup carries the node it belongs to, read from its source host or its name (`hostcfg-<node>`, a job of this node or its PBS backup ID); both backup lists also return the node name.
- The backup list offers This node / All nodes when some backup belongs to another node, with This node as the default, a count that follows the choice and a note with the backups not shown.
- Backups whose node cannot be read from their name are listed under All nodes.
- A local backup made on this node by a job that no longer exists is marked as Former job, read from its metadata file; backups without it, manual ones and those of other nodes are not marked.
- New texts in English and Spanish, modelled in the translation steady-state test.
- Tests for the node and the former job read from each backup, and for the cluster node membership notifications.
- An observation is never left out for its age and cannot be dismissed:
the rule that hid it after 30 days without a repetition, and the
clean-up that marked the ones of a missing device, are removed.
- The ones earlier versions left out are shown again; an error that came
back while hidden appears with its first date and its full count.
- The audit attributes recorded events to a disk by its serial number.
- The observations of a disk belong to its serial number, not to its
connector: a replaced disk starts clean, and the badge of the list
counts what the detail of the disk lists.
- An OCI container is recognised while it is still being installed, so
an image that carries Docker inside is not offered Docker.
- Links use the IPv4 address of a container and write IPv6 in brackets;
an answer without an address of its own is read again.
- The Monitor restores, when it starts, the DHCP clients of containers
that were started from it.
- New service that starts again an OCI application that stopped on its own, such as Frigate after Save & Restart. A stop or shutdown asked by the user, a backup, a migration and a ProxMenux operation are never undone.
- The installer asks it in both modes and proposes what the recipe declares; it is changed from the management menu or with the Watchdog switch of the container modal in the Monitor.
- Notifications when the watchdog restarts an application and when it keeps stopping.
- The service is recorded in the change journal, and the feature is documented.
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.

Adds the OCI manager: an engine that turns a Docker Compose file into an
LXC definition, a catalog of 365 applications drawn from LinuxServer.io
and other container image sources, and a per-instance registry recording
what each container was built from. Reachable from the main menu.
Catalog text is translated like every other string in the project: the
taglines go through translate() and land in lang/*.json, so the entries
read in all eight languages instead of only English.
Translation cache builder:
- a failed translation leaves the key absent rather than writing English,
which previously made the string count as translated forever
- a result identical to a 3+ word source is rejected, catching a provider
that silently returns the text it was given
- strings that are nothing but glossary terms keep their source spelling
instead of being discarded as failures
- no backoff between attempts when the provider is deterministic
- application names are protected so "HAOS One" survives translation
- argos joins the provider list, and the workflow reads the OCI sources
Audit & Report:
- findings that moved in the wrong direction between runs are reported
alongside the ones that improved
- an accepted risk can carry a review date and is flagged when it falls due
- backup checks explain in plain language what they looked at and what to
do next
Monitor:
- disks can be excluded from periodic reads, and an idle disk says so
instead of showing a stale temperature
- per-disk identity survives a controller or enclosure change
- scheduled Borg backups resolve their SSH key from the repository entry
- PVE upgrades log the package list and the resulting dpkg changes
The web build no longer copies scripts/ into public/: the documentation
links to GitHub, so nothing read that folder.

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.
