Seven gpu_tpu scripts now write through the journal for host changes only — driver and package installs, vfio binding, modprobe.d, /etc/modules, GRUB and udev — while VM and LXC configuration stays out; add_gpu_vm and install_coral_lxc journal only their host writes. amd_gpu_tools records its install, and pmx_journal.sh gains pmx_record_uninstall while changes_journal.py retires an installed package when ProxMenux removes it. What each function writes is byte-identical to before, verified by tests/journal/verify_journal_migration.py.
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.

An LXC running its workload in Docker could not answer two questions it
already had the data for: which application is in there, and whether a
newer version exists.
**Which version is available.** The Updates tab resolved that number only
for docker.io, and only when a version tag happened to share the digest of
the tag in use. On ghcr.io, lscr.io or quay.io the row said "New image
available" with no number at all. The image a pull would install carries
its own version label, so it is now read from the registry by digest —
over the same protocol and Bearer challenge the digest comparison already
uses, and through the same label lookup the installed version uses, now
shared as _docker_version_from_labels.
The question this answers is the one the tab asks: what do I get if I
re-pull this tag. Not "what is the newest upstream release", which is a
different number whenever a tag is pinned or the publisher tags releases
differently from images.
Docker Hub keeps priority on docker.io: its tag API is not a pull and does
not spend the anonymous pull-rate budget, and official images carry no
labels for the registry path to read. The digest still decides whether an
update exists; this only names it, and declines to name it when the answer
would be a guess — no build for this platform, no labels, an unreadable
manifest, a moving tag, a rebuild of the same version, or two sides whose
versions came from different label keys. Each refusal is recorded in
available_version_source.
Attestation manifests are skipped explicitly: they advertise
unknown/unknown and their config blob is a provenance document, not an
image. Every document is fetched by digest and verified against it, the
config read is bounded, and it is cached per digest, which never changes
content. The CDN redirect is followed by hand, dropping Authorization:
urllib re-sends it to the redirect target and signed-URL storage rejects a
second auth mechanism.
**Which application it is.** The probe already read "1.37.2" out of a
Vaultwarden container and get_suggestions discarded it, so the panel
answered "No new applications were detected" about an application whose
version it had just measured. Containerised applications are now offered
for registration like any other, with their name, logo, published ports
and installed version.
What they do not get is an update path of their own, because they do not
have one: updating Vaultwarden means pulling and recreating its image. A
new update_via=docker marker records that delegation, so one release stays
one badge, one notification and one button. The marker is validated rather
than inferred from installed_via, since docker_exec with an upstream is a
legitimate registration someone may already rely on; combining it with an
upstream is rejected instead of silently stripped, because registering an
app that checks GitHub behind a delegation promising it will not is worse
than an error message.
Three failure modes the delegation had to be defended against: detector
auto-healing would have migrated the app onto a leftover /root/.<app>
marker and quietly un-delegated it; saving replaces the whole record, so
the editor carries the marker explicitly rather than dropping it on the
first port edit; and the release-age hold gates on a publish date a
delegated app never has, which deferred the whole schedule forever.
Their version is resolved server-side through the container the detector
declares — not through the app's name or image, since Immich's compose
service and image are both immich-server while the application is immich.
The annotation happens on the way out of both endpoints rather than into
their caches: the App tab's cache is invalidated by events, not by time,
and the Docker inventory it reads is built asynchronously, so annotating
before storing froze a response taken before the first scan.
The rows carry that name too. display_name was already computed and
already used by the bulk-update section; the image row, the update
notification and the CT badge now use it as well. A delegated app's
pending update counts in the badge only while its image is not already
being counted, so registering just the application does not leave the
container looking up to date, and registering both does not count twice.
Catalog: four detectors verified on real containers, following the rules
in the file. vaultwarden and immich gain docker fallbacks for installs
where the native marker does not exist. netalertx is new — note its
repository is netalertx/NetAlertX; the Docker Hub namespace 404s.
technitiumdns is new and uses Technitium's own update endpoint rather than
GitHub releases: its marker reads 15.4 while the release tag is v15.4.0,
and _version_tuple compares (15,4,0) > (15,4) as an update that would
never clear.
Verified live against ghcr.io (Immich 3.1.0), docker.io (Vaultwarden
1.37.2) and lscr.io (Radarr 6.3.0.10514-ls314), plus postgres:16, which
correctly reports no version because official images carry no labels.
Exercised end to end on Proxmox VE 9.2.4 with NetAlertX reporting
26.6.3 -> 26.9.0. 31 new unit tests cover the resolution rules, every
refusal, the delegation contract and the container-to-image pairing.
- safely migrate historical Bashrc and Log2RAM installations
- align post-install function versions across both flows
- bundle gevent runtimes for CPython 3.11 and 3.13
- select the correct Python ABI at runtime
- validate both supported Proxmox VE Python versions in AppImage workflows
- fix#327, #328 and #331
Restores AI Assistant support for OpenAI-compatible endpoints on private IPs, loopback
and Docker networks (LiteLLM, LM Studio, LocalAI, vLLM, OmniRoute, self-hosted proxies)
and surfaces the server's error under the Load button (#325). Aligns the Secure Gateway
wizard's Alpine template selection and pct create with the host's real architecture on
x86_64 and arm64 (#324). Consolidates changes landing on develop: atomic notification
delivery, custom SSH port for Borg remote targets (#236), optional GitHub API token for
app version tracking (#306), and richer replication failure notifications.
feat(host-backup): custom SSH port for Borg remote targets
Add Borg destinations no longer assume port 22. The Monitor form and
the shell TUI both take an optional port (default 22, range 1-65535)
and embed it in the persisted ssh://user@host:port/path URL. BORG_RSH,
the sshpass key installer and the capacity probe all honour it.
Reported by @songochain in #236 — NAS-style Borg hosts on non-standard
SSH ports are now first-class targets.
Existing borg-targets.txt entries without a port keep working; the
port is only serialised into the URL when it differs from 22.
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 an apt-listchanges notification event that surfaces package-maintainer NEWS forwarded through the PVE mail queue, with its own template, emoji and per-locale label
- emit a single post_install_update event when a tool exposes a newer version, and persist per-tool notified versions on disk so a Monitor restart no longer re-fires the same update announcement
- force AI enrichment to formatting-only on availability notices (update_available / pve_update / proxmenux_update / post_install_update / apt_listchanges / lxc_updates_available / secure_gateway_update_available / nvidia_driver_update_available / coral_driver_update_available / app_update_available / docker_stack_update_available / update_summary) so translations never turn factual inventories into advice
- add the apt_listchanges channel label to Monitor UI strings across the eight locales
- rewrite the 15 post-install pages and the 3 hardware GPU pages so they reflect the current scripts (reversibility, tracked-tool counts, kernel parameters, per-tool commands, Alpine LXC propagation flow)
- migrate the legacy step-badge helper on post-install/optional and create-vm/synology to the canonical pill component, with the stepLabel key added in each locale
- fix rich-text i18n calls missing helpers across network, automated, optional, security, customization and the post-install landing pages, and escape the `<iface>` placeholder in automated so intl no longer parses it as a tag
- remove the mouse-follow blue overlay from the docs landing layout
- reposition the App-tab Edit button and stack the Search and Register controls vertically on mobile
- move the Bulk update Configure/Edit control into the section header so it behaves the same on desktop and mobile
- show a spinner during the final autoremove/autoclean pass of update-pve-safe so the cleanup step reads as active instead of silent
- restyle the shell spinner and msg_info in a distinctive purple and drop the unused msg_lang duplicate
- add a web-docs i18n build script and its CI workflow, plus tests for the pushover notification channel
- 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.
- **VM/LXC modal** — PVE tags (dots on list cards, editable pills in modal with click-to-edit) using NVIDIA-style hash colour and SAPC contrast; Status tab redesign (single card, always-visible subsections, Edit button, autostart toggle, blue subsection icons); Backups and Firewall tabs now fill the full modal height with sticky headers/notes; stopped VMs no longer shift the metrics grid; mount-point card brightness unified across breakpoints.
- **Disks modal** — Overview / SMART / History / Schedule tabs adopt the VM/LXC modal size and the mobile icon-only tab pattern; SMART attributes table drops the 15-row cap and gains a sticky "View full SMART report" footer; Print/Save-as-PDF collapses to two icons in the report; loose i18n and layout follow-ups.
- **NVIDIA driver installer (#298)** — version picker cross-checks kernel + NVIDIA's Production/New Feature/Legacy branch classification (scraped from `nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/`) + the PCI Device IDs of every host GPU, with a release-count heuristic to keep superseded production branches selectable while dropping Vulkan-beta ones; Recommended follows same-branch head when a driver is installed, Production Branch head on a fresh install; Hardware card now shows installed alongside available driver version.
- **Custom notifications (#297)** — `event_type: "custom"` accepts `title`/`message` at the root or nested under `data`; defensive strip of stray `[TITLE]`/`[BODY]` markers echoed by the AI enhancer.
- **App tab** — new "Exclude from the LXC updates counter" toggle; the CT's aggregate updates badge now sums OS packages plus registered apps (respecting the flag); Docs page updated; App suggestion no longer treats bare OS helper slugs (alpine/ubuntu/debian…) as installable apps.
- **i18n and copy** — Monitor UI available in EN / ES / DE / FR / IT / PT / SV / SK (thanks @vaso73) surfaced as the first entry in the What's New modal with a link to the contributor's profile; ES cleanup pass (`Historial`, `Velocidad de rotación`, `Consumo actual`, `Ejecutar`, `Eliminar`, `Activar`, `Ver contenido`, `Repuesto disp.`, `Registrar`, `Ocultar`, `Descartar`); redundant "Tip: search any Linux/Proxmox command" line removed from the terminal command search across all locales.
Modal caches now refresh on events only — the periodic prewarmer runs one-shot at startup, mount points split into static/runtime endpoints, and backups get a client 6-hour gate. Updates tab shows post-apply feedback and the script terminal no longer closes the parent modal. Settings adds edit gating on 3 cards with the 3-level contrast rule applied consistently. ES translation batch (~25 fixes) and What's New for 1.2.4.1-beta refreshed.
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.
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
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.
