Over the course of NDS-1094, the thought popped up about possibly also using the webui container as the default-backend for Kubernetes' NGINX loadbalancer.

Any container can be the "default backend", as long as it meets the following two requirements:

• 404 is returned from /
• 200 is returned from /healthz

Benefits might include any of the following:

• less repositories to manage
• fewer idle services running within the cluster
• code is currently shared (not very well) between these two
• we can finally include support/contact info on the error pages
• navbar/footer on error pages to match look and feel of the rest of the webui

We should discuss what this would mean, and try it out to see how it would look, since the changes should be fairly minimal.
