I made a cylindrical panorama in PTGui of about 180 degrees with the ratio of about 3:1
Is there an online viewer that can display it correctly?
Something like https://renderstuff.com/tools/360-panorama-web-viewer

krpano can do this. I don't know for sure, whether marzipano can.

However, the easiest way is to load the ready stitched image into
Publish to Website (from Tools menu) and create an online version from
there.

I use Pano2VR for this to allow me to display my panoramas on the web.

This is a pano I did that is about 180 deg.

Thanks. But it is big technical file of 22000 x 7000 pixels for a customer who is not allowed by his company to install other software on his laptop.
Only way would be that I give him a link to my website where he can see the file correctly?

You can provide the file as is. However, straight structures will
appear bent in this case. Using a dedicated viewer might indeed display
that correctly, but the simple web viewer that comes together with PTGui
doesn't support multi-resolution. Hence the quality might degrade a bit.

Now there are some standalone viewers, that do not need to be installed.
If your customer is allowed to execute files you can try one of those.

To prepare your panorama for that you would need to create it as full
spherical, although most of it will be blank. Such an image would need
to have about 44000x22000 pixels to maintain the resolution, which is
hard to digest for most viewers. The only one that worked for me (on
windows) was 64bit FSPViewer:
http://www.fsoft.it/FSPViewer/download/ Get the zip file version and
extract the 64bit program. You can simply start it and throw the image
file onto it...

good luck

Thanks Erik for the help.
I will make from a 360x180 from it with several different views from the unit and place this on hidden page of my website
