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
- Add a shared smartctl transport resolver with sat, sat,12 and sat,16 fallbacks.
- Prevent USB bridges from reporting a superficial PASSED result without real disk telemetry.
- Reuse the resolved transport across storage details, health monitoring, temperature history, and manual/scheduled SMART tests.
- Bundle the new resolver in the Monitor AppImage.
- Update the Coral TPU and LXC Apps/Updates documentation in the supported documentation locales.
- Generate and ship a verified 389-app tracking catalog with 23 runtime overrides, fallback detectors, ports, logos, and Docker Hub tag previews.
- Support modern Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts markers, historical installations, and official or manual app deployments.
- Rework the LXC App and Updates tabs with cached suggestions, explicit discovery, version tracking, web links, custom updaters, and complete i18n.
- Add independent OS, app, Docker Engine, Docker image, bulk, and scheduled update targets.
- Add digest-based Docker inventory, Compose dependency grouping, safe standalone-container recreation with rollback, and package-scoped Docker Engine updates.
- Refresh per-LXC caches after lifecycle and update tasks, then emit idempotent notifications based on the verified final state.
- Harden Coral USB recovery by removing orphaned gasket DKMS registrations and validating that dpkg is healthy before reporting success.
Updates tab
- Unified OS + Application update card with per-section Apply buttons
and a combined "Apply OS + <app>" footer button
- Helper-scripts install detection: uses helper_slug from managed_installs
cache (hostname fuzzy-match against helpers_cache) so the button
surfaces even when /usr/bin/update was removed
- Runs the community-scripts helper INSIDE the CT via pct exec so
build.func picks the silent update path (PHS_SILENT=1) instead of the
install menu — works with and without /usr/bin/update
- HELPER_SLUG env passthrough from backend to apply_updates.sh: falls
back to constructing the ct/<slug>.sh URL when the CT no longer
carries the marker file
- Post-apply state refresh via managed_installs.check_for_updates(force)
in the /applied hook so the badge updates without a manual reload
Options card
- Rewrote as view / edit mode split with a single Edit button
- Unified apply defaults (snapshot + storage + restart) shared by
manual and scheduled runs
- Scheduled updates (M5): cron picker + preset dropdown + What-to-update
target + Delete schedule button, wired to a background scheduler thread
that fires apply_updates.sh headless with the schedule's env vars
- External host cron detection with variant + scope reporting
(tteck-legacy / community-scripts / custom, OS-only), shown as an
informational chip only in edit mode
App tab editor
- Multi-app registration with per-app upstream tracking method
(github / http_json / docker_hub)
- Card-contrast pattern in edit mode (bg-card + bg-background inputs)
- Auto-heal for missing installed_version via alt_detectors +
file_fallbacks
Curated tracking hints (M6)
- Add http_json upstream for Plex (plex.tv API)
- Add binary+github hints for Emby (MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases) and
PhotoPrism (photoprism/photoprism)
- Extend CI merge whitelist with upstream_type / upstream_url /
upstream_json_path / docker_image
Tab reorder
- LXC modal tabs: Status | App | Updates | Mounts | Backups | Firewall
apply_updates.sh
- New helper execution path: parse ct/<slug>.sh URL, run inside CT
with PHS_SILENT=1, respecting HELPER_SLUG fallback when
/usr/bin/update is missing
The previous bump commit (2f24de25) shipped a binary that still carried
Next.js 15.1.6 in the bundled chunks even though AppImage/package.json
was at 15.1.9. Root cause: build_appimage.sh only ran `npm install`
when `node_modules` did not exist; on the .50 build host node_modules
had been cached since the 1.2.1 build cycle, so the bump was silently
ignored and the build re-used the stale tree.
Fix the script: always run `npm install --legacy-peer-deps` on every
build. npm reconciles against the lockfile in under a second when
everything is already in sync, so the change is free on a warm tree
and correct on a stale one.
Rebuild from a clean node_modules on .50, redeploy to all four hosts
(SHA 4602b8d4aa130c6f...), runtime grep confirms the bundle now
contains 15.1.9 with no traces of 15.1.6 left. Same architecture and
threat model as before — Flask serves the static export on :8008,
no Next.js runtime — but the version banner now matches the lockfile.

Two regressions surfaced after the 1.2.2 release merge to main, both
in workflows that auto-trigger on push to main:
* Deploy to GitHub Pages — build failed with `pagefind: not found`
(exit 127) after Next.js prerendered all 241 routes. pagefind was
not declared in web/package.json; the local build only worked
because the project root had its own package.json with pagefind
as a devDep (the one we just gitignored in the previous commit).
Add `pagefind: ^1.5.2` to web/package.json devDependencies and
regenerate web/package-lock.json so `npm ci` in CI puts the
binary at web/node_modules/.bin/pagefind.
* Build ProxMenux Monitor AppImage — failed at the first step with
`mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/cache/proxmenux-build':
Permission denied`. The cache path was hardcoded to /var/cache/,
which is writable when the script runs as root (the .50 host
manual build) but not as the unprivileged GitHub Actions runner.
Switch to `${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/proxmenux-build/` —
works identically in both environments.
Verified locally: `cd web && npm ci && npm run build` produces 2804
files in out/, 231 pages indexed by pagefind, root redirect intact.
