MacRimi fcfe8da765 refine post-install and hardware GPU docs, Monitor UX and CLI styling
- 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

"meta": {
"title": "Post-Install: Security | ProxMenux Documentation",
"description": "Security options available in the ProxMenux Customizable post-install script. Currently a single option: disable the portmapper/rpcbind service to reduce the host's attack surface."
},
"header": {
"title": "Post-Install: Security",
"section": "Settings post-install Proxmox"
},
"intro": {
"title": "What this category covers",
"body": "Post-install security is limited to <strong>host hardening that is safe to apply unattended</strong> — things that disable services almost nobody needs and that can be undone from the Uninstall menu. Active security tooling (Fail2Ban for intrusion prevention, Lynis for auditing) lives under the dedicated <em>Security</em> entry on ProxMenux's main menu, not here in post-install."
},
"rpcbind": {
"heading": "Disable portmapper / rpcbind",
"intro": "<code>rpcbind</code> (formerly <code>portmap</code>) is a service that maps RPC program numbers to network ports. It is a dependency for NFS and some legacy RPC-based tools. On a typical Proxmox host that is not acting as an NFS server, <strong>nothing uses it</strong> — and leaving it enabled keeps port <code>111/tcp</code> listening on every interface.",
"whyTitle": "Why it's worth disabling",
"whyItems": [
"Reduces the host attack surface — one less listening service to worry about.",
"Historically abused as a reflection/amplification vector in DDoS attacks. Disabling <code>rpcbind</code> removes that amplification factor for your host.",
"Removes the noise it generates in logs and <code>netstat</code> / <code>ss</code> output, making real activity easier to spot."
],
"nfsTitle": "Don't disable this if you use NFS",
"nfsBody": "NFS server <strong>and</strong> NFS client rely on <code>rpcbind</code> to negotiate the ports used by <code>mountd</code>, <code>statd</code>, <code>lockd</code>, etc. If your Proxmox host either <em>exports</em> NFS shares to other machines or <em>mounts</em> NFS shares from a NAS, do not apply this option. Mounts will fail with <code>mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running</code> or similar.",
"runsTitle": "What ProxMenux runs",
"runsOutro": "The package stays installed. ProxMenux records the original enabled/active state of both rpcbind.service and rpcbind.socket, then disables and stops both units so socket activation cannot bring the service back.",
"verifyTitle": "Verification",
"verifyBody": "After applying, confirm <code>rpcbind</code> is off and nothing is listening on port 111:",
"reversibleTitle": "Restores the original service state",
"reversibleBody": "This change is registered in <code>installed_tools.json</code>. <link>Uninstall Optimizations</link> restores each rpcbind unit to the enabled/disabled and active/inactive state captured before ProxMenux changed it; it does not assume that rpcbind was enabled on every host."
