I hope this is the right place to post!
I am using Webmin as my headless server's startup page due to all the 'dashboard' info it provides. Since Webmin is password protected and even two-factor authenticated if desired, I don't see any reason not to use it this way.
One thing I miss seeing from my old server info page was a listing with the server's ip address and a showing of up to 10 or 15 ports the user could pre-define to show open/closed status on the dashboard or perhaps on the right hand fold-out submenu.

Can you provide an example (screenshot preferably) on how that would look like?

Wish I could. My old server recently crashed so I had to reinstall
everything! It was actually a good time to set up and do everything thru
webmin, as much as possible. Take a look at the 'ezservermonitor' github
page (https://github.com/shevabam/ezservermonitor-web). At the bottom is a
picture. At the bottom right of that picture is an example of ports shown
and their respective statuses.

We already have Service Statuses when Virtualmin module is installed and a familiar System Monitors output already available for Webmin users only. Check Tools ⇾ System and Server Status ⇾ Configuration: Configurable options and an option Show monitors on Dashboard?.
Perhaps it could happen to be just what you were looking for?

Thanks for your reply! I'm afraid that does not show 'port status' at least as my configuration would show. I think this might be a good extension project. I don't use virtualmin. I followed the steps you listed, but found no option to add ports to monitor. I added SSH (port 22) to be monitored, but I'm not sure this is quite what I was looking for. For me, Webmin is fantastic! I think this is the only puzzle piece missing for me. I'd love to see it as an optional panel over on the right, along with favorites.

The value goes to displaying actual service status -- if it's running or not. Webmin already has that. Displaying actual port number for the service has absolutely no value. It's either default or if it was changed, admin know what it is. Besides there are plenty of commands to get that kind of status.
This status screen DOES show what's open an closed. I just wish there was a simplified screen on the dashboard.
Wait, what do you mean? If you turn on earlier mentioned option, it will display that kind of page on the Dashboard.

just wanted to follow up. the monitored status screen do show up on my dashboard and your solution does work just fine.
