racking User Identity and Adding Remote Monitoring Dashboard on Linux Nodes

[ChetanMotghare]

Description
When running a node on a Linux system, we need a way to:

1. Uniquely identify the user running the node.
2. Track and ensure consistency of the same user performing computations.
3. Provide a remote-accessible UI dashboard to monitor node status and progress.

Feature Request

1. User Identification on Linux

   • Define a method to assign and verify a unique identity to the user running the node, which may include:
     • Generating a unique user ID on initialization.
     • Storing this ID securely on the Linux system.
     • Ensuring the ID persists across sessions to uniquely identify the user.
   • Explore options such as using system-level user identifiers (UIDs) or creating a custom identity based on user details.

2. Tracking User Activity

   • Implement tracking to confirm that a consistent user (identified by the unique ID) is performing the computations. This helps in:
     • Avoiding tampering by switching user identities mid-operation.
     • Providing reliable computation logs for the same user across sessions.

3. Remote-Accessible UI Dashboard

   • Develop a UI dashboard for remote monitoring of node status and metrics:
     • Should display proof speed, computation progress, and other relevant metrics.
     • Allow input of the unique user ID to view specific user data remotely.
   • This feature will be essential for Linux nodes in non-GUI environments, enabling users to monitor operations from any GUI-capable device.

Expected Outcome
Implementing this feature will:

1. Enable secure and consistent user identification for Linux node users.
2. Allow remote monitoring of node activity and progress, even on non-GUI Linux systems.
