kopia - one of most advanced backup solutions using exactly what you looking for. It runs as a server not only to backup clients, but also as web UI (as well UI over electron that used the same backend API as for web access.)

I evaluated wails but it's light on features. The best non-electron solution is probably tauri.studio. It's very popular and close to feature parity with electron. You can sidecar a Go app so you don't need to know rust.

Yep and to avoid having the front-end files in the distributable I use https://github.com/rakyll/statik to bundle them into the main binary.
