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
- OCI manager: architecture, lifecycle and stacks pages revised, with
larger diagrams and new screenshots.
- Contributors: the page now thanks those developing, reviewing,
translating and testing ProxMenux today and those who helped in its
first steps, with new avatars.
Tests for the stack start hook, the watchdog, the user database check
of OCI images and the Tor installation summary.
- Offline checks for terminal and website catalogs reject translations that change commands, paths, identifiers or placeholders
- Terminal and documentation texts that broke those contracts are corrected in every language
- Swedish can be chosen in the stable and beta installers
- The website routes, language switcher and exported pages cover the eight languages, with the shared website texts in each of them
- Website documentation translations are generated only when requested
- From PR #475 by @jcastro
- Nothing is written under /etc/pve unless it is the mounted cluster
filesystem; a Monitor that starts while pve-cluster is being restarted
waits for it and registers its webhook afterwards.
- The Monitor service is ordered after pve-cluster.service.
- The settings are written only when they have to change. The copies
taken before a change are kept in
/usr/local/share/proxmenux/backups/pve-notifications, and the ones left
in /etc/pve by earlier versions are moved there.
- Uninstalling the Monitor removes its target and matcher from Proxmox.
Reported in #427.
- 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.
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.
