I have developed the hardware for a location tracker (basically reports its GPS coordinates via 3G mobile connection to a remote server)
This device is running Debian GNU/Linux on 512MB of RAM, and has an Ethernet port.
I would like to add a web interface to this device, to be able to see some device status indicators and to configure basic parameters, in the same fashion you would with any WiFi router nowadays.
I would prefer not to develop this web interface from scratch, and rather use an existing framework that provides a customizable implementation for something similar to a web interface configurator and status page.
I use OpenWrt and LuCi regularly, but I can't seem to find any possibility of using LuCi without OpenWrt. The two projects seem inexorably interlinked.
Another option might be Webmin, but it seems to use plugins for existing services. Perhaps it makes sense to develop a plugin for Webmin, but I am afraid this might be bending the purpose of webmin too much.
I have found this related question in Stack Overflow, but it is unfortunately out-dated
Can anyone recommend a framework for the purpose of developing a web interface for an embedded device. Perhaps something like LuCi but flexible enough to be implemented in embedded devices other than OpenWrt.
