Admin over HTTP

The HTTP admin surface is the browser-facing counterpart to the SSH admin console.

It is intended to be provided by:

• frontend-http
• backend-admin-http

Current state

What can be stated factually today:

• backend-admin-http exists in the repository
• it is part of the mounted HTTP backend family
• the public browser-facing admin workflow is not yet documented as a complete operator surface

Intended layout

The HTTP admin surface will sit behind frontend-http, which means it will follow HTTP routing rules rather than SSH session rules.

That includes:

• host and path-based mounting
• browser-oriented authentication and session behavior
• web responses rather than line-based REPL output

TODO

The following pieces still need to be documented once the surface is complete:

• exact route layout
• authentication and session behavior
• which SSH admin operations are mirrored in HTTP
• final browser workflow for backend enablement and resource management
• examples for site, OCI, mail, users, and groups management over HTTP
