Hi Stefan,
My guess is, that you want to use a browser-based frontend. Then best to
base that on Leaflet or OpenLayers. Both are pure-client JavaScript
libraries. These libs may be bare when developing from scratch, you can
also use a library that extends these libs (like MapStore).
Shameless plug: Wegue [1] combines OpenLayers with VueJS. For basic
apps the framework ishas standard components, JSON-config-based (no
programming!), runs out-of-the box with Docker and brings no backend.
But there are many more you can find e.g. on the OSGeo-live distro [2].

Best,
