ProxMenux is a management tool for Proxmox VE that simplifies system administration through an interactive menu, allowing you to execute commands and scripts with ease.

--- ## ๐Ÿ“Œ Installation To install ProxMenux, simply run the following command in your Proxmox server terminal: ```bash bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/main/install_proxmenux.sh)" ``` > โš ๏ธ Be careful when copying scripts from the internet. Always remember to check the source! > > ๐Ÿ“„ You can [review the source code](https://github.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/blob/main/install_proxmenux.sh) before execution. > > ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ All executable links follow our [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux?tab=coc-ov-file#-2-security--code-responsibility). --- ## ๐Ÿ“Œ How to Use Once installed, launch **ProxMenux** by running: ```bash menu ``` Then, follow the on-screen options to manage your Proxmox server efficiently. --- ## ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ProxMenux Monitor ProxMenux Monitor is an integrated web dashboard that provides real-time visibility into your Proxmox infrastructure โ€” accessible from any browser on your network, without needing a terminal. **What it offers:** - Real-time monitoring of CPU, RAM, disk usage and network traffic - Overview of running VMs and LXC containers with status indicators - Login authentication to protect access - Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with TOTP support - Reverse proxy support (Nginx / Traefik) - Designed to work across desktop and mobile devices **Access:** Once installed, the dashboard is available at: ``` http://:8008 ``` The Monitor is installed automatically as part of the standard ProxMenux installation and runs as a systemd service (`proxmenux-monitor.service`) that starts automatically on boot. **Useful commands:** ```bash # Check service status systemctl status proxmenux-monitor # View logs journalctl -u proxmenux-monitor -n 50 # Restart the service systemctl restart proxmenux-monitor ``` --- ## ๐Ÿงช Beta Program Want to try the latest features before the official release and help shape the final version? The **ProxMenux Beta Program** gives early access to new functionality โ€” including the newest builds of ProxMenux Monitor โ€” directly from the `develop` branch. Beta builds may contain bugs or incomplete features. Your feedback is what helps fix them before the stable release. **Install the beta version:** ```bash bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/develop/install_proxmenux_beta.sh)" ``` **What to expect:** - You'll get new features and Monitor builds before anyone else - Some things may not work perfectly โ€” that's expected and normal - When a stable release is published, ProxMenux will notify you on the next `menu` launch and offer to switch automatically **How to report issues:** Open a [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/issues) and include: - What you did and what you expected to happen - Any error messages shown on screen - Logs from the Monitor if relevant: ```bash journalctl -u proxmenux-monitor -n 50 ``` > ๐Ÿ’™ Thank you for being part of the beta program. Your help makes ProxMenux better for everyone. --- ## ๐Ÿ”ง Dependencies The following dependencies are installed automatically during setup: | Package | Purpose | |---|---| | `dialog` | Interactive terminal menus | | `curl` | Downloads and connectivity checks | | `jq` | JSON processing | | `git` | Repository cloning and updates | | `python3` + `python3-venv` | Translation support *(Translation version only)* | | `googletrans` | Google Translate library *(Translation version only)* | > **๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Security Note / VirusTotal False Positive** > > If you scan the raw installation URL on VirusTotal, you might see a 1/95 detection by heuristic engines like *Chong Lua Dao*. This is a **known false positive**. Because this script uses the standard `curl | bash` installation pattern and downloads legitimate binaries (like `jq` from its official GitHub release), overly aggressive scanners flag the *behavior*. The script is 100% open source and safe to review.
