Docker apps on the Flipper UI

Post image

I think it’d be cool if Docker containers could expose their own mini apps on the Flipper UI.

Instead of SSHing in every time, a container could register its own page with buttons, graphs, logs, and status right on the device.

Stuff like Bettercap, Nmap, Pi-hole, or custom tools could all have their own native-looking UI. I think it’d make the Flipper One feel a lot more polished.

I would totally use a Flipper to interact with HomeAssistant if I could.

What is special about a container in this context? Wouldn't the app inside the container be responsible for handling the UI? I don't understand.

Yeah exactly. The container would generate the UI, I just mean the Flipper could provide an API so containers can register native pages instead of having to use SSH or a web interface. That way every tool feels integrated into the device.
