This utility consisted of server backend and UI which manages the chia plot creation.
It uses the chia command line interface to start the plot.
It will schedule new plots when a plot finishes as specified by the configuration file.
The server backend does a cycle every minute and check if the configuration file has been changed, if it detects that it has been changed then it reloads the configuration file.
Once a valid configuration file has been loaded then it will start one new plot per cycle.

Please download the latest release Pre-built binaries available for 64-bits Linux, Windows and MacOS (I've only tested Linux version, although other users confirmed it is working on Windows and MacOS)
go get github.com/maded2/plotng
cd plotng
go install plotng/cmd/plotng-client plotng/cmd/plotng-server
plotng-server -config <required, json config file> -port <optional, plotter port number, default: 8484> -address <optional, address to bind to, default is blank (any)>
Please note: chia environment should be activated before starting plotng-server, or ChiaRoot should be set in the configuration file.
The UI can run on any host and point back to the server using the host and port parameter
plotng-client -hosts <comma separated list of plotters host name or IP with/without port number> -alternate-mouse <optional, may be needed for mouse support through PuTTY)
eg. plotng-client -hosts plotter1:8484,plotter2,plotter3:8485
