Proxmox,
made simple.
Proxploy turns every container and VM on your Proxmox node into an app you can open, update, back up, firewall and console into. It is an Unraid-like experience, but for Proxmox VE, running on hardware you already own. No cloud, no account, nothing leaves your network.
curl -fsSL https://proxploy.com/install.sh | bashCopy it and paste it into the console on a Proxmox host. It builds the container, installs Proxploy inside, and prints the address to open.
Proxmox runs your services. It does not manage them.
Proxmox VE is a superb hypervisor. But the day-to-day of living with your apps sits in the gaps it leaves. Your containers have names in the tree, but a name is not a way in: to reach an app you still track down its IP and port, and to restart it you open a console. Installing from the community-scripts collection builds the container and then leaves you on your own, with no single place to update what ran and no management after. Keeping apps current is a manual round you do by hand and forget. And once you run more than one host, there is no single place that shows everything and lets you act on any of it.
Proxploy fills exactly those gaps. Every app gets a real front door you click to open, one-click lifecycle and a console without leaving the browser, an App Store that keeps managing what it installs, updates surfaced and applied in one place, firewall rules you can edit without opening the Proxmox interface, and one pane across every host you own. Proxmox gives you the engine. Proxploy gives you the cockpit.
One window over the whole node.
A front door for every app
Every LXC container becomes an app tile with a name and a status light. Click it and you get its own page: open its web UI in a tab, start, stop, restart or shut it down, or drop into a shell, all from the browser.
Proxmox already shows a guest's name beside its ID. What it does not give you is a way in: you still track down the IP and port to reach an app, and open a console to restart it. The tile is that way in. A multi-service app like Immich, which runs a server, a database and a machine-learning worker, shows up as one Immich tile, because that is how you think about it.
An App Store that installs and then manages
Browse the community-scripts catalog from inside Proxploy. Before anything runs, you see the exact script pinned and its diff against the upstream version, so you know what you are about to execute. You consent, and the install streams to your screen line by line.
The difference from running scripts by hand is what happens next: Proxploy keeps managing the app after install, with one-click updates, its saved script you can edit, and everything a click away instead of another SSH session.
Virtual machines, fully managed
Full VM lifecycle, snapshots, create and clone, config editing for VM options like boot order, OS type and QEMU agent, and cross-host migration when you run more than one host. Migration is cluster-native where your hosts share a cluster and backup-and-restore where they do not, always with an honest downtime estimate before you commit.
One host or a whole rack, one dashboard.
Start with a single node. Add more whenever you like and Proxploy folds them into one combined view: every host's resources, every app across all of them, and the ability to install an app to any chosen host or migrate a container between them without leaving the page. Managing several Proxmox hosts usually means several browser tabs. Proxploy makes it one.
the trust model
Proxploy does not pretend to sandbox anything.
App Store installs run the community script as root on your node, over an SSH connection you authorize. That is identical to running the script yourself, and no interface can make it otherwise. What Proxploy adds is the part you can act on: the pinned script shown before it runs, its diff against upstream, streamed output while it runs, and a permanent audit trail after.
Free on one host, forever.
The complete product runs free on a single Proxmox host, with no account and no data ever leaving your network. Add more hosts with Pro at $49 a year. A Team tier for people who run Proxmox for clients is on the way.

Questions
Is Proxploy free?
Yes, fully free on a single Proxmox host, forever, and that is the whole product rather than a trial: every app, VM, console, backup and alert feature is included. If you run more than one Proxmox host and want them in one pane, Pro is $49 a year with a 14-day trial. Team, for people who manage Proxmox for clients, is on the way.
Do I need a Proxmox cluster?
No. Proxploy works on a single standalone host, and on several hosts that are not clustered at all. Where your hosts do share a cluster it uses that for faster migrations; where they do not, it falls back to backup-and-restore and tells you the downtime up front.
Does Proxploy send my data anywhere?
No. Everything runs on your hardware and stays there: your hosts, containers, credentials and logs never leave your network. The only thing that ever talks outward is an optional license check on the paid tiers, which carries a license key and nothing about your infrastructure, and the free tier never makes that call at all.
Can I install Proxploy right now?
Yes. Paste the command from the install page into the console on a Proxmox host and it builds a container, installs Proxploy inside it, and prints the address to open. It installs onto a plain Debian box just as well: add --shape systemd and it installs directly. A Docker image is planned but not available yet.
How does the App Store actually install things?
It runs the community script as root on your node, over an SSH connection you authorize, which is exactly what happens when you run the script yourself. Proxploy does not pretend to sandbox that. What it adds is the pinned script shown before it runs, its diff against upstream, the output streamed live, and a permanent audit record after.
What is the difference between Proxploy and the Proxmox web UI?
The Proxmox VE web interface administers infrastructure; Proxploy is built for living with your apps. It adds a front door to every app, one click to its web UI rather than tracking down an IP and port, lifecycle and logs and a console without leaving the page, an App Store that keeps managing what it installs, updates surfaced and applied in one place, and a single pane across multiple hosts. It runs alongside the Proxmox web UI, not instead of it.
Which Proxmox VE versions does Proxploy support?
Proxploy is built against Proxmox VE 8 and 9, and its API client is version-aware so it can branch where the two releases differ. Verification against real hardware is in progress; we will state the exact versions the integration suite runs against before publishing a support matrix rather than claiming coverage nothing has proven.
Can Proxploy manage containers that already exist?
Yes. When you connect a host, Proxploy discovers the LXC containers already on it and offers them for adoption, individually or in bulk, with suggested matches against the community-scripts catalog. You do not start from an empty Apps page and you do not reinstall anything you already run.
Give your Proxmox node a front end.
Proxploy is in active development and available to install today. The free Homelab tier is the whole product on a single host, with no account and nothing to sign up for. A Team tier for people who run Proxmox for clients is on the way.
