Re: Customizable web based GUI for Debian server and daemon administration?

Are there any tools that let one build a custom web based (GUI?) page
that would let users control and configure a small Debian based server?

I'm looking to put something together that would let a non-techie user
configure music player daemon configuration options from a web page;
much like users configure a simple SOHO router. I need something that
could configure MPD as well as NFS or other network attached server
partitions.

Specifically, I have friends who are very interested in my custom music
server: ALIX single board computer, Debian based Voyage Linux, MPD, and
USB audio output; all running from compact flash. They don't know a
thing about ssh or using text editors for configuration, so I'm trying
to figure out the easiest way for them to configure their system. As a
long time Monowall user, the web based approach first came to mind.

Depending on the configurability you want, a couple of custom made PHP
scripts that manipulate config files could be enough for a minimal,
lightweight web-based configuration tool.
