alcounit/browser-ui repository overview

⁠Browser UI

Browser UI is a lightweight web dashboard for the Selenosis ecosystem. A Go HTTP server serves a React frontend and exposes a small backend API for viewing, starting, and deleting browser sessions, plus a built-in VNC viewer for live sessions.

---

⁠Overview

• Frontend: React + TypeScript SPA (Vite, noVNC), served under /ui/
• Backend: Go HTTP server providing a REST API and a VNC WebSocket proxy
• Event collector: lists and subscribes to browser-service SSE events, keeping an in-memory store of sessions and available browser configs
• Optional auth: cookie-based login backed by a hot-reloaded basic-auth file

Browser UI is intentionally stateless: Kubernetes remains the source of truth and browser-service is the API boundary; the in-memory store is only a cache.

---

⁠Responsibilities

• Serve the web UI (React frontend)
• Provide a JSON API to list, inspect, start, and delete browser sessions
• Proxy VNC traffic from the UI to the underlying browser Pod
• Track sessions and browser configs in memory by consuming browser-service events
