Questions about Proxploy
What it costs, what it needs, what it sends anywhere, and what it actually does to your node when you install something.
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.
