Serial-to-network bridge with a web UI (TCP, telnet, RFC 2217, Modbus, MQTT)
ser2netweb shares local serial ports over the network (raw TCP, telnet, RFC 2217, UDP),
is a Modbus RTU/TCP gateway and publishes to MQTT and Sparkplug B, all set up in a web UI.
It is an independent project (named ser2net up to 2.9.x), not related to the classic
ser2net daemon, whose configuration files it can import.
USB serial adapters (/dev/ttyUSB*, /dev/ttyACM*, also by /dev/serial/by-id) need the
raw-usb interface: sudo snap connect ser2netweb:raw-usb
The service is off after installing: sudo snap start --enable ser2netweb.daemon
Its web UI then listens on 127.0.0.1:8080; for the network:
sudo snap set ser2netweb bind-ip=0.0.0.0 port=8080
Its data is in /var/snap/ser2netweb/common/data. The first admin password:
sudo ser2netweb --data-dir /var/snap/ser2netweb/common/data --set-password admin

It does not guarantee the Snap is an official upload
from the upstream project.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
