OpenMQTTGateway on esp8266, no webui

I successfully installed OpenMQTTGateway on the ESP8266 NodeMCU CP2102 ESP-12E. I configured the WiFi settings and can ping the IP. But the WebUI doesn’t seem to be open and I can’t connect. The port isn’t even open or listening. It does connect to my MQTT server (outboard) but nothing about to connect inbound.

I’m using the web install and tried a number of NodeMCU configurations. They all work but have the same WebUI problem.

Any idea what is going on here?

The webUi is not available for esp8266 unfortunately.

Current webui code require esp32.

Something about semaphores…
