- 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.
- Host restore notification: reports its tasks and no longer calls the node fully ready.
- Watchdog notification: covers an application that did not start as well as one that stopped again.
- OCI: Modify summary, Immich recognition preview, private network kept by another guest, empty USB list.
- gzip diagnostic no longer says that nothing changed.
Source questions from the Italian review by @f3rs3n.
- The option that edits an installed application is Modify for one container and for a multi-container application, in the OCI menu and on the Monitor button. Recreate is only the rebuild of a multi-container application as it is.
- A stack recreation says "Recreating" and "Recreated" in its steps instead of "Updating".
- The notes of the GPU, Coral, disk and share menus no longer name the option.
- Spanish for the new texts; the English copies of the stack texts are removed from de, fr, pt and sv so the bot translates them.
The installation record of an OCI application travels with its container:
a copy inside the container and another in /etc/pve, written together
with the one kept on the host. A container restored on a newly installed
Proxmox, restored with another ID or moved to another node of a cluster
is recognised and registered again, with its private network, hookscript,
Rclone mount, host firewall rule and NVIDIA runtime. The Monitor offers
the same recovery from the Updates tab.
AMD GPUs are offered by generation. A GPU the ROCm image supports takes
the profile as it is; one of a supported family (Radeon 680M, 780M) is an
experimental option that asks for confirmation and is never proposed; an
older one is not offered. The GPU is checked with a real inference before
the installation accepts it. Recreate changes what runs recognition in an
installed Immich, between the CPU and a GPU of the host.
Updates:
- A failed update that is restored and checked removes its temporary
container and the disks of the failed attempt.
- Every container volume is part of the backups, so Jellyfin, Plex and
Hugo update with their default installation.
- An image published with a Docker-format manifest is recognised by its
layers and build time and updates.
- The Proxmox notes of a multi-container application link to its LAN
address.
Only use a file as the real gzip if it is a working binary, otherwise
reinstall the gzip package; bail out without touching gzip if that
fails. Check the .distrib and wrapper writes, and never purge pigz
while gzip still depends on it.
A gzip package update overwrote the pigz wrapper, and uninstall could
restore a stale gzip.original over a newer binary. Use dpkg-divert
(--no-rename, gzip is Essential), migrate existing installs, and also
divert the /usr path on bookworm so a PVE 8 -> 9 upgrade keeps working.
The wrapper assigned GZIP="-1" without exporting it, so pigz never saw
it and compressed at its default level 6. Export it, and refresh
/bin/gzip on re-runs when gzip.original already exists so existing
installs pick up the corrected wrapper.
OCI manager Apps
- App tab: containers installed from an OCI image are identified from their
installation record; the application and image versions are shown and an
update is detected by image digest; repository link; Refresh data.
- Updates tab for OCI containers: Update and Recreate run the same flow as the
OCI menu in the Monitor terminal; the pre-update backup can be kept in a
backup storage; scheduled image updates with an optional minimum age.
- Logs tab: console output of the application, kept on the host
(lxc.console.logfile + logrotate) and followed live.
- The Proxmox console opens a shell (cmode: shell) when the image has one.
- A damaged image download is fetched again before failing.
- Multi-container applications open at their LAN address; volume mount
points on block storage report their usage.
Monitor
- Proxmox notifications are delivered to a loopback-only HTTP listener when
HTTPS is enabled, so they no longer fail certificate verification.
- Log persistence counts recurring patterns only; an ended burst is not
reported as persistent and its warning clears on its own (#386).
- Proxmox notification config backups are deduplicated and capped at three.
- The update icon on the Apps page opens the container on its Updates tab.
- Version 1.2.6.2-beta and its release notes in every Monitor language.
Docs
- OCI manager Apps and Audit & Report rebuilt as per-page message files,
with a new page for OCI containers in the Monitor.
- Seven pages fixed where rich-text tags were missing from t.rich.
Translations
- Spanish fixes across the OCI engine, the Monitor and the TUI menus.
