windirstat with web based gui? (lemmy.one)

I'm looking for software I can run on a server that could scan a target file system and make a windirstat-esque output available at an http address.

Fundamentally I'm looking for a gui that can be accessed from any machine on the network that would help me/others identify big chunks of data.

Anyone aware of anything that could do this? Ideally a Linux app I can throw in a container.

Edit: to clarify, the consumer of this data will be management people, not tech people. This would be to replace a nightly scan and email report of the current state of our fileserver

Give ncdu a look. It is on Linux. It will allow you to see big chunks of data. I'm sure someone has a container version of it, but you can run it straight from the terminal.
