FoundryLocalWebUI is a straightforward, self-contained net frontend for Foundry Native that runs on IIS, works on each Home windows Server and Home windows Shopper, and makes use of widespread Home windows ecosystem elements.

You’ll find the venture on GitHub: https://github.com/itopstalk/FoundryWebUI

Right here is an explanatory video right here: https://youtu.be/IGWNhSQziZI
