I found the web service will start with
sudo meshtasticd

and I can access the web interface with https://localhost
after enabling chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost

But I can’t seem to configure the radio through the web interface.

Have you tried access web interface remotely? My pi4 (bookworm) has issue opening Chromium, tried http://<Pi’s local IP>:443 or https://<Pi’s local IP>:443 but always get empty response…
