/questdbso the database can run headless but you can spin up a container with the UI and connected it accordingly when needed. Also beneficial maybe in the future when the same UI needs to connect to multiple QuestDB instances for troubleshooting or querying

in theory - the separation should be rather simple: the web console is really a static page and a bunch of REST calls.
if you are willing to explore this a bit more and perhaps document your finding then I am sure there’ll be people who will appreciate this!

03/07/2023, 12:42 PMI am willing to explore this because I have been playing around with docker for more than 5+ years now and I think it is doable especially for Quest. Is there a subchannel where the UI devs have some talks + discussions?

I don’t think there is a sub channel, but feel free to use #contributors
