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):

## 64 bit OS support only ## Aug 1, 2025
With openHAB 5, we are sorry but we have to drop support for 32 bit systems.
There is no officially supported and stable version of Java 21 available that
runs on ARM hardware with a 32 bit Linux.
Check your OS for 32/64 bit using getconf LONG_BIT and read the release notes
https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/5.0.0#openhabian
to find out how to proceed with your openHAB upgrade to version 5.
Starting with openHABian v1.11, the upgrade menu function (03) will no longer
work if you are still on an 32 bit system.
You can still manually select to install Temurin 21 Java and openHAB
but be aware that you will be running an unsupported version of openHAB so
if you run into any trouble, please do not ask for help but upgrade to 64.

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