The v1.2.2 install layout extracts the AppImage into
/usr/local/share/proxmenux/monitor-app/ and runs AppRun out of that
directory — but install_proxmenux_monitor's update branch only
called create_monitor_service on fresh installs, leaving the inherited
unit's `ExecStart=/usr/local/share/proxmenux/ProxMenux-Monitor.AppImage`
in place. That path used to be the FUSE-mounted AppImage entry point,
which v1.2.2 deliberately replaced to clear a Wazuh rule-521 false
positive on /tmp/.mount_*. On PVE 9.x / Debian 13 the bare AppImage
fails to exec straight away (status=203/EXEC) so the service entered
the activating loop reported in #222 and never came back up.
Always rewrite the unit before the post-update `systemctl start` —
idempotent for installs whose unit is already correct, recovering
for those whose isn't. The new helper
`_proxmenux_rewrite_monitor_unit_for_apprun` mirrors the unit body
the fresh-install path emits in `create_monitor_service`, with the
same template-from-repo / inline-fallback fork, so both paths
converge on the same content.
Reproduced and validated on PVE 9.x lab:
before:
Process: ExecStart=/usr/local/share/proxmenux/ProxMenux-Monitor.AppImage
(code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Active: activating (auto-restart)
after:
ExecStart=/usr/local/share/proxmenux/monitor-app/AppRun
Active: active (running)
Bumps version.txt to 1.2.2.1 so the existing menu update path picks
this up automatically. For users already stuck on a broken v1.2.2,
re-running the installer manually applies the same fix:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/main/install_proxmenux.sh)"
