Frontail is dead - long live the UI but

I only found the lack of frontail today when I upgraded openHAB / openHABian with openhabian-config and then I I had an issue with openHAB which is why I tried to reach*:9001 which did not respond which started my research finding this news.md (which I am sure I have overlooked when I started openhabian-config … my bad):

github.com

openhab/openhabian/blob/main/NEWS.md

Hit tab to unselect buttons and scroll through the text using UP/DOWN or
PGUP/PGDN. All announcements are stored in `/opt/openhabian/docs/CHANGELOG.md`
for you to lookup.

## Frontail removed ## December 17, 2024
We have removed the frontail log-viewer package and deleted it from all
systems with openHAB 4.3 or later installed. As of openHAB 4.3 a log-viewer
is built in to openHAB, and frontail has serious security vulnerabilities
present and is no longer maintained. We apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause.

## Legacy openHAB 2 support removed ## November 23, 2024
We have removed legacy support for the openHAB 2 systems. Please upgrade to
the latest version of openHAB to receive further support.

So I don’t think we want to add frontail back.
