Hello everyone,

I'm having a hard time formulating the question and it can be a bit confuse to me too at times, but here it is. For the context, so that you can have an idea of the shenanigans I'm used to program, I'm a PhD in compilation and did stuff related to security and performance. I have essentially worked in projects that are relatively low-level and system-oriented (compared to webdev, desktop application dev etc).

I usually code CLI tools, usually system-oriented libraries, and stuff like that. And sometimes I would like to hack simple yet cool frontends, typically a webapp to either visualize my processes/data or to manipulate the inputs or whatever. I'm not looking for a big solid webapp. What I would like to do is to write frontends that would be the equivalent of quick ugly glue Perl scripts for interprocess communication.

Typically, I could have a program I wrote doing stuff, I may add a little HTTP server feature to it as an entrypoint to its internal and then have a cute webapp to connect to it to visualize what is going on, idk.

As I said, I'm not trying to transform my applications into actual servers or microservices in order to build an entire web application on top. It is more like using a proper user interface (typically web) as a better pretty-printing/logging system/whatever.

I guess there must be frameworks, tools, architectures or whatever to suite my needs, but since I have never really done frontend projects, I'm in the dark right now.

If someone has any recommandation, it would be very nice. Thank you so much in advance!

Hello there,

I have been running a Conduwuit server for a while now but since it has been abandoned I was just keeping it alive until it becomes too outdated or that I'm too bored to keep it or whatever.

But since Continuwuity seems like a good upgrade option, I was wondering how to migrate. According to a comment I read somewhere I should be able to just change the Docker image name and run it exactly how I used to with Conduwuit but I can't find any guide or anything confirming this.

Did someone already migrate and could help me?

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I indeed just recreated the container with exactly the same command-line, just changing the image and everything just worked as if nothing happened. Thank you for the answers and emotional support
