	I use nfsen, and install it on new deployments. I even have a simple Ansible cookbook to automate installations.

	I think it does what it does pretty well and is very light. Of course heavier solutions based on Elasticsearch are very powerful and extensible. But for small ASen with not a lot of technical people, it is still the best fit.

	Perhaps this chap has a fair idea of what the GUI could look like, although the backend (at least the last time I checked it out) is hacky:
	https://github.com/mbolli/nfsen-ng

	I would certainly be very happy to see nfsen rewritten and packaged. I would be willing to test and maybe help with Debian packaging (my experience with the latter is limited, but am willing to give it a go).
