Heya,
Been a while since I’ve been here and was wondering if there was any movement on the official Web Interface that was shown here - https://www.figma.com/file/mgkpvjKunwWe1qDX3Tp1iF/VyOS-Local-UI
The web interface is on hold for now, as far as I know. They said so on Reddit at least.
Someone has developed their own GUI that talks to VyOS via the API backed.
It’s discussed here on Reddit.
Please note this is nothing to do with the official VyOS project, it’s a 3rd party piece of work.
Ooo thanks @tjh 
Do you have the link to this by chance?
Unfortunately I don’t, no.
I tried looking for it but I don’t remember in what post it was. I also tried looking through roughly 260 days of my Reddit inbox without success.
Ah awesome so a UI is coming in the way of controller.
Thank you for finding it!
I forgot that the controller was still in development. That’s a perfectly fine option, assuming it can be self-hosted. 
A perfect(?) addon would perhaps be if that becomes a dockerimage compatible to be runned locally in the VyOS installation.
This way you can add its own webgui to each VyOS along with (if you like) run it centralized on a dedicated host. And by that choose if you want it local or central or both.
Yeah, maybe. I would prefer to have a version not wrapped in a docker image though since it doesn’t fit with my use case.
wonder if theres any code out there to try
Idea would be that you can install it locally in all VyOS which comes with containersupport.
The very same container could then, if prefered, be installed elsewhere and tada! the best of both worlds (and no need to have multiple editions). Easier to maintain over time etc for the developers etc.
Sure. I still don’t want every single thing to be a docker container. Docker networking is also kind of terrible.
Well sure but support for containers is builtin with VyOS so that would be an easy way to get a webgui as an addon where the same image could also be used on a dedicated server if you prefer that instead.

I agree with having a container option. Run it directly on VyOS if you want, but you don’t have to worry about it running if you don’t want it. It let’s you run it anywhere where you can run containers, VyOS, Linux, Windows, cloud…whatever.
Just because there’s a container option doesn’t mean that has to be the only solution of course.

Another great thing if the webgui becomes a container, except for being optional, is that it can be updated out of order.
As in you dont have to update VyOS to also update the webgui with any fixes.
Of course sooner or later the webgui will need some kind of miniversion of VyOS thats being supported for it to be properly functional.
