## 🖥️ ProxMenux Monitor

ProxMenux Monitor is an integrated web dashboard that provides real-time visibility into your Proxmox infrastructure — 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://<your-proxmox-ip>: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
```

## 🧪 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 — including the newest builds of ProxMenux Monitor — 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 — 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
```

> 💙 Thank you for being part of the beta program. Your help makes ProxMenux better for everyone.
