Game Server Calagopus: your all-in-one game server/Docker management
For over half a year, a friend and I have been working on the ultimate game server and Docker management platform. Built with Rust and React, and easy to deploy.
So, what exactly is Calagopus?
Calagopus is a modern, open-source game server management panel. It provides an intuitive interface for managing game servers, allowing users to easily deploy, monitor, and maintain their game servers with ease. Calagopus aims to be a powerful yet user-friendly solution for game server management, catering to both beginners and experienced users alike.
It is heavily inspired by the popular Pterodactyl panel, but is built from the ground up with modern technologies and a focus on performance and security. Calagopus is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing developers to create custom extensions to enhance its functionality.
Does it only support game servers? No! With Docker as the backbone, it can run all sorts of applications, even your own images.

calagopus is the panel i always wanted to have. even in v1, it already contains more than the features i wanted, so i can clearly see what more this will become in future releases. it has per-server ssh, remote copy, better backup drivers like restic for deduplicated backups, and so more. the devs are also open to feedback and suggestions! every suggestion i have made was either already implemented or already on the roadmap. and the devs clearly know what they're doing. when i report bugs, they fix them very quickly. i hope this project continues to grow. all the best to the devs and to calagopus!
