You might be on to something! repackage an nntp server with a web front end in a docker container and away you go

Dejanews did that many years ago. You can still access usenet via Google groups.

yes but undeniably the dejanews or google groups usenet experience was worse than with a proper news client like Forté Agent, except for search.

These days a web based NNTP client could offer an equivalent if not superior experience.
