I could do a very simple web based management UI to view the status of deployments.

It could provide status info, with a list of last deploys for each service and a button to trigger a deployment and restart a service. It could tell you if a service or image could not be found.

It could also provide buttons for other actions like 'downloading an image of a host for backup' (useful for instances that are databases and don't use shared storage; an actual use case I have).

It could easily store the data in simple SQL lite / neDB database as the amount of data would be small.

As it's just for debugging / administration the data store could be transient (and just store the data in it's local DB) or you could give it a shared volume if you wanted that info to persist.

We could also make this how the app is configured - and have it write/ it's configuration info to a JSON file that lives on the host it's running on (with an option to view / download it for backup).

This would mean you would not have to fork the repo just to deploy an instance as the config would be outside the app.

( Interested in your thoughts on this @imjosh !)

I don't want to replicate the functionality of something like Portainer so would have authentication maybe use basic auth and environment variable or a simple .htaccess file for users.

Would love feedback on if this is - or isn't - a thing people care about, and if they do, where we should draw the line.
