panel

Pterodactyl Panel is a free, open-source game server management panel. According to its README, it is built with PHP, React, and Go, and is designed with security in mind: every game server runs inside an isolated Docker container while end users get a web-based interface for management. The project is split into a panel and a separate daemon component called Wings, each with its own documentation. The README links to panel and Wings installation guides, community guides, and a Discord server for support. Development is funded through sponsors, and the code is released under the MIT License (copyright 2015-2022 Dane Everitt and contributors). Supported games are provided through Docker-based containers, so hosts do not need to install game-specific dependencies on the machine. Core examples listed include Minecraft (Paper, Sponge, Bungeecord, Waterfall and others), Rust, Terraria, Teamspeak, Mumble, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Garry's Mod, and ARK: Survival Evolved. Community-contributed options include Factorio, San Andreas: MP, Pocketmine MP, Squad, Xonotic, Starmade, and various Node.js/Python Discord bots, with more available through the project's egg repository. The README does not describe specific administrative features, APIs, or performance characteristics beyond container isolation and the web UI.
