Adding support for additional Caddy modules

[hslatman]

Hey @alexandre-daubois,

Saw your work on this last week, and read the announcement post today. Congrats on the v1 release! 🎉

I was curious if you would be open to extending the functionality of ember with metrics coming from other apps/modules built into a custom Caddy. I maintain a few Caddy modules, including the CrowdSec integration, and I think it would be cool to visualize blocked requests in ember in some way. Going a little further, it might be possible to include the status of the CrowdSec bouncer in it too.

If you're OK with it, I'll take a stab at it.

Thanks! 🥳

I like this! I came up with the idea of a module/plugin system for Ember a while back. Your use case totally justifies it, it would be really cool to be able to add plugins to Ember to (initially) add new tabs for more visualization, and let developers choose what they want to include in their screen. That would be a great start for a first version of the plugin system; I’m sure we can come up with even more advanced ideas later.

I’ll look into this very soon and keep you updated on my progress. It’s a great idea. Top priority on my todo for Ember, thank you!
