Description
This PR adds support for serving static files making it possible to have a UI in front of webui. This feature is enabled via go build tags, making no changes to the default behavior.
Usage
ui
build tagRationale
Canonical builds its own UI for WebConsole (we call it NMS), which is currently operated as a standalone service. The goal is for us to be able to build and deploy WebConsole as one service/container, including both the backend and front end.
WIP
This is still a work in progress, it needs to be properly tested.
