## 🖥️ 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.
