- IT-Tools has the template the menu installs from, so it is offered
like the rest of the catalog.
- Every curated application is listed in categories.json, and OpenTask's
template matches its recipe.
- The texts of the LXC update jobs read correctly in Spanish, German,
French, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish.
- The release notes count 514 applications and credit PRs #526, #527,
#529 and #530.
The release notes, the changelog and What's New in Version 1.2.7 count
the hundred applications of PRs #524 and #525 and credit them, together
with the Italian review of PR #522 and the French field icons of PR #523.
Resolves the catalog index and translation conflicts with PR #524 by keeping the entries and keys of both, adds the fifty applications to categories.json and renders oci/VALIDATION.md for 464 applications.
Glance and Homer write their starter configuration only when it is missing, so an update does not replace the one the user edited. Prometheus keeps /etc/prometheus in a volume of its own, which starts with the configuration of the image and can be a host directory.
- Gatus keeps config.yaml in a /config volume of its own, which can also
be a host directory, and the installation writes it only when it is
missing, so updates and recreations keep the endpoints added to it.
- The address Pocket ID is opened at says what it is for and that
passkeys need HTTPS.
- The catalog categories are sorted again.
- The release notes count 364 applications and credit PR #521.
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

- Dialog menus show their options numbered, as the rest of ProxMenux does, and return the value of the chosen one, so each description has the whole width in every language.
- A storage, a bridge, a device node and the main OCI menu keep their tags, and number tags and separators are left as they are.
- Test for the numbering, the default option, the kept tags and a cancelled menu.
- OCI manager Apps carries the Technology Preview label that Proxmox VE gives to application containers from OCI images, in the main menu, the engine windows, the menu search, the message at the end of each installation, the release notes and the documentation.
- The documentation explains that the label refers to the Proxmox VE support it runs on, not to the ProxMenux engine, and stays until Proxmox VE marks it as stable.
- Spanish for the new message; the other languages are left to the translation bot.
- NUT Server (instantlinux/nut-upsd) runs the Network UPS Tools server for a UPS connected to the host by USB: the installation proposes the UPS the host detects, passes it to the container, generates the password of the upsmon user and starts with the host; clients such as PeaNUT connect on port 3493.
- A recipe can ask for the UPS of the host: without one, the installation stops and says so, and the advanced installation lets the node be typed by hand.
- The catalog lists 335 applications.
- Tests for the proposed UPS, a host without one and the recipe.
- Notification settings show the last 20 notifications with the result of each send, the error when one failed and every daily digest run, also on days with nothing to send; the history is read without the flag the API never returned, and the page does not offer to erase it, as Audit & Report reads it.
- The Ctrl menu of the three web terminals sends Ctrl+D, which ends a text pasted in the terminal, also from a phone or a tablet.
- The repository check lists every Proxmox VE or Enterprise Ceph repository whose suite does not match the installed version, with its channel and file, and says where to disable it; repository addresses are never shown.
- Adding an NVIDIA GPU to a VM writes its VFIO udev rule again when it is missing or was edited, and the pre-check counts a missing rule as a pending host change.
- New texts in English and Spanish, modelled in the translation steady-state test, and the notifications docs page describes the history section.
- Corrected the automatic translations of the new LXC update and power control texts, and the start, shutdown, reboot and stop buttons of VMs and LXCs in German, French, Portuguese and Swedish.
- Tests for the history panel, the terminal Ctrl+D, the repository message and the VFIO rule.
- 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.
- "Install an image that is not in the catalog" also takes an oci-compose pasted in the terminal, next to reading it from a file or downloading it from an address.
- oci/README.md and the documentation page of the option describe the three ways, and the README links to the thread for suggesting applications (#440).
- oci/VALIDATION.md points to discussion #440 instead of the closed#360.
- The oci-compose tests pass on a host set to another language and without python3-jsonschema.
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.
A container volume is filled with what the image holds at that path, with its owner and permissions, as Docker does with a new volume. It was only done for the recipes that asked for it. Images that run as a user of their own and do not take PUID, such as Node-RED or Grafana, find their data directory writable and start.
The main menu opens with a search that finds an option of ProxMenux, an application of the OCI catalog or a Helper-Script by its name or by related words, in that order, and by category after the names.
Every result opens what its name says and nothing is run by the search itself: a script starts at its first screen, an application opens its page, an option of the post-install or a system utility opens its list with it marked, and an option that lives inside a menu is opened by that menu, which stays behind it.
The menus take the option to open as an argument and behave as before without one. The Helper-Scripts catalog is kept on the host and refreshed once a day. The main menu, the lists of OCI manager and the Helper-Scripts menu share the same height.
An addon is run where the catalog lists it: on the Proxmox host, inside an LXC chosen from a list, or wherever is chosen when it can be both. The LXC is started when it is stopped, and OCI containers are left out. Until now every addon ran on the host.
A script is downloaded whole before anything runs, so a failed or empty download runs nothing. Descriptions and notes the catalog writes in HTML are shown as plain text.
The menu opens one script given as argument, and is as tall as the main menu.
The image published by the Duplicati project joins the catalog next to the LinuxServer one.
Bitcoin Knots is hidden until its image closes the application cleanly when it stops; EmulatorJS and SickChill, until their images are published again.
Manyfold, BookStack and NetBox declare the services they need. Lychee and Manyfold install with their own SQLite database.
Folding@home, Healthchecks, NetBird, Speedtest Tracker, Twingate Connector, HA Bridge, ChatGPT Next Web, DDNS Updater and Minisatip explain each value, propose one or leave it to the advanced installation.
Pinchflat gets 1024 MB.
What a Compose file reserves is the least the application is promised, not the most it may use. 81 recipes had taken it as the memory of the container, as low as 128 MB, and the kernel stopped applications such as Home Assistant Official and UniFi Network.
Without a limit in the file the container gets the standard 1024 MB, or the reservation when it is larger. A limit the file sets is kept.
A path offered as a container volume or as a host directory is created for the user the application runs as, also as a volume, and is always mounted: the option of leaving it out is gone for those folders.
A container volume is never read-only, which is kept for a host directory that already holds the content, and the time files of the host are not turned into volumes.
An application that expects a database or another service that is already running shows it, with the address of its image documentation, before anything is asked, and its page lists it under Needs.
The installer windows share one width; the page of an application and the final summary are a little wider.
