Configuration modification at runtime.

[LexManos]

Add commands to the cli endpoint.
Or a web GUI to modify config settings at runtime.
Specific things that would be good:
Making a new repository
Changing proxy/private/browseable options for a repo.

Preferably this would be done via GUI. But that requires digging into the vue.js stuff.

A minimal UI for configuration via web page, similar to what I was working on, would be relatively simple to implement in Reposilite without use of Vue.

If you want to go that route, we can brainstorm that here or on Discord.

However, a new configurable endpoint is a good option too, it just requires that you be able to make that kind of specialised request easily.

I kinda like the idea of having the frontend seperate form the backend.
Just not a fan of vue.
But if we were to add it to reposilite, and not waitress, then it would need to be done in the vue frontend, not a standalone UI.

[TheCurle]

The frontend doesn't need to use Vue. It would make it look more consistent, but as long as there's the proper html, css and JS to make it work, it could use anything.

However I'm a proponent of KISS so using Vue is probably the path of least resistance.

I have a few ideas for a potential layout (visual and code wise) that would make developing this quite simple.

Will draft some of them up here later once I return.

What about Svelte? I find it to be an even simpler alternative.

We're trying to avoid rewriting the entire frontend.

The existing setup is fragile and overcomplicated as it is, we need a quick fix rather than a commitment to many hours of work to redo everything.
