This topic describes a method to run nmap in a browser.
Unfortunately, the required zip file cannot be downloaded without registering.
Download the zip file here. You'll get some mails after you have registered and downloaded, but all of them have an unsubscribe link, so after a while, you will no longer receive their mails.
First, create a new directory:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/nmapweb
and place the downloaded zip file in that folder.
Now execute the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/nmapweb
sudo unzip webmap-2012-06-20.zip
Locate nmap on your system (which nmap). If nmap isn't installed on your system yet, install it with sudo apt-get -yq install nmap --no-install-recommends (reference here).
You need to check if the paths in the commands below match the actual location!
You also need to change the IP address of your workstation in the lighttpd configuration!
edit
Because copy/paste from discourse doesn't always work, you can find the script here (remember you need to execute the manual steps - download the zip file - first!)

echo '$HTTP["remoteip"] != "192.168.2.228" {' | sudo tee -a $file

sudo service lighttpd stop
sudo service lighttpd start
If lighttpd doesn't start (sudo service lighttpd status is running), you probably have an error in your configuration file(s). Check the files with:
lighttpd -t -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
to start the web application:
http://<your_pihole_ip_address>/nmapweb/index.php
result:
This web application was very useful to help me create this pihole feature...
