Why

This change introduces a web interface to display information about running Docker services that have exposed ports, making it easier to get an overview of the services running on a host.

What Changes

• A new frontend application that displays the service information.
• The service will list all Docker services with exposed ports.
• Services exposed via Traefik will be prioritized and displayed prominently.
• The web interface will use a card-based layout to show each service.
