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.

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
- centralize the app version in a new `AppImage/lib/version.ts` — the dashboard footer, SMART report footer and release-notes modal all read from a single export, so a future bump only has to touch version.ts, package.json and beta_version.txt
- roll `package.json` and `package-lock.json` to `1.2.4.2-beta` (the lockfile was still stuck on the stale `1.2.2.2-beta` marker)
- move the previous `1.2.4.1-beta` feature list into the modal's historical CHANGELOG under its August 17, 2026 date so navigating "Anterior/Próximo" still walks through the complete history
- write the four new What's New entries for the ongoing 1.2.4.2 cycle: smarter LXC app detection (Docker promoted as parent workload during cold start, unregistered suggestions cached at startup, on-demand catalog scan), end-to-end Docker updates (Engine + per-image tracking on the 24h cycle with a "Check now" action), the 380+ workload detection catalog built from the live community-scripts source, and Pushover joining Telegram/Gotify/Discord/Email/Apprise as a native notification channel
- add the four new i18n keys (appDetection, dockerUpdates, appCatalog, pushover) to all eight bundled locales — en and es curated, the six remaining kept in English until the docs-i18n workflow retranslates them
Backend keeps every guest's modal payload (details, backups, apps, schedule, mount points) warm in-memory and exposes them through a single `/api/vms/modal-cache-all` endpoint. The dashboard hydrates its entire modal cache from that one request on page load, so opening any guest — first click or after coming back later — renders instantly. Replaces ~84 per-guest fetches with 1.
Move Monitor dashboard UI copy into translation keys and expand the English source catalog across the main pages, modals, and shared AppImage components.
Add the Monitor dashboard i18n provider, supported language metadata, message catalogs, fallback behavior, and the initial language selector/wiring for the AppImage UI.
Promote the v1.2.1.x beta cycle to stable: version markers bumped
from 1.2.1.4-beta to 1.2.2 across version.txt, AppImage/package.json,
flask_server.py (3 places) and the four UI labels in login,
proxmox-dashboard, storage-overview and release-notes-modal.
Replace AppImage/ProxMenux-1.2.1.4-beta.AppImage with
ProxMenux-1.2.2.AppImage and regenerate the .sha256 sidecar
(097e2344675d4b21f1dd18c531c956c299a6507fbc3d0c9695418063581ba2b0).
The new binary is verified on all 4 lab hosts (.50 / .55 / .89 /
1.10) — same sha, all services active, runtime version markers
report 1.2.2.
CHANGELOG["1.2.2"] in release-notes-modal.tsx consolidates every beta
in the 1.2.1.x line (12 added / 13 changed / 18 fixed), and
CURRENT_VERSION_FEATURES is rewritten with the four stable highlights:
Health Monitor Thresholds, granular dismiss control (per-event
duration + Active Suppressions panel), Apprise notification channel
parity, and LXC update detection.
