Canonical page: https://ourlocalhost.com/app/7199/caddy-ui-frontend

## Description

Web interface for caddy/ui. Manage Caddyfiles, routes, TLS certificates, logs, and metrics. Requires caddy-ui-backend and an existing Caddy server. Select the same user-defined Docker bridge network for both UI containers and Caddy. You can use an existing custom bridge network: change Network Type in both templates to that network. If you need a new network, run "docker network create caddy-ui" in the Unraid terminal before installing and select "Custom: caddy-ui". Install and start caddy-ui-backend first, keeping both UI container names unchanged. The frontend connects to caddy-ui-backend:3001 through Docker DNS; the default bridge network does not provide this name resolution. Set External UI URL on the backend to the exact browser address, normally http://YOUR-Unraid-IP:9877. Then open this WebUI, create the administrator, save the recovery key, and discover or add your Caddy

## Platform availability
