Add a WebUI?

[animeai]

As this was last asked in 2017 (the answer then was "No current plans but 'yudai/gotty' sort of works") I felt it might be the right time to ask again.

In the modern age of container usage, we often don't want to SSH to our box to do a health check. While apps like Glances give a good overview of the host as a whole, nothing I've found breaks everything down as nicely as ctop which is my go-to program for troubleshooting and monitoring containers after initial install. I feel it would add a lot of value to the project to create a ctop daemon with WebUI so like other apps you can view it just on https://my.domain:12345 from any device without needing full ssh credentials and software. Don't know about others, but ssh on a phone with private key authentication is a nightmare!

Any thoughts on adding this as a feature or perhaps new project that uses the the ctop executable?

This application is great for emergencies on server, like killing that one container with 200% CPU usage, it shouldn't be bloated with some web gui stuff.

Check out the already existing portainer, it might be exactly what you're looking for.

https://github.com/netdata/netdata is good for providing a web ui / flashy graphs etc

Resurrecting this to say you should also have a look at glances https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

You can install it as a docker container and provides a web ui that is somewhat similar to ctop
