Hi I'd like to build a web-ui for a existing cli-application. This
application is run with some arguments and then shows a counter to
some stats. Now I'm already at building a html webpage that would fit
my visual needs, but how do I get the command to run if I click a html
button? And how do I get some sort of config to work, basically on/off
options that change arguments.
And I'also like to be able to integrate some values that are displayed
in the terminal normally. I thought about PHP and then running each
command in a screen enviroment, but how to extract those values?

Or has anyone got a better idea on how to built a web-gui for this
purpose?

nextjs & cli & SSR are your friend, better ask on /r/nextjs though.
