Package: prometheus Severity: wishlist Hi!
After reading through #1053243, I realized that Alertmanager is not the only Prom thing that has a "modern" UI buried out of the Debian package, but that Prometheus itself has a "React" UI available. And now, checking on the unstable package, I see that the "classic" UI has actually been completely removed from upstream. So far we're bundling the classic UI in the package, but that's deemed to be removed in the future. Let's not do the alertmanager thing here, and somehow figure out how to package this properly. I understand it's a gooey Javascript thing, but we *do* have a bunch of Javascript things in Debian, and I think it's a solveable problem. At least it doesn't look like it has Elm compiler stuff? According to: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/tree/main/web/ui#pre-requisite We need npm >= v7 (already in bookworm, even!) and nodejs >= 20 (in trixie). I'm not *super* familiar with the javascript packaging, but it *looks* like the package.json file is not completely hopeless: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/web/ui/package.json ... but of course, it hides the uglier part of it where you have react and friends: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/web/ui/mantine-ui/package.json ... but we *do* have react and friends and debian now! So I think it might be worth tackling that one and looking at what, exactly, we're missing from Debian that we could add to make this work and keep having a working web UI in Prometheus for the forseeable future.
